| I know I just recently changed from a Linksys "Wired" Router to the Linksys Wireless Router and i received a new IP Address when I had everything up and going. So from my experience doing installs once the modem is connected to a new Mac Address it pulls a totally different IP Address almost everytime. *I hope I made sense of that one*

| You can pull a new IP by releasing your IP and shutting off your modem for a while, then turning the modem back on and renewing. Best chance is to leave the modem off when you go to sleep then reboot the modem and renew when you get on your machine the next day, although I've pulled a new IP in as little as a half hour this way.

| Re: Can i get a New IP? This didn't work for me. I did a RELEASE, unplugged the modem, turned it back on this morning, did a RENEW, and got the same IP.
Does anybody know if the process should be different for the former MediaOne areas? I'm in Hollywood, CA. Thanks a lot, guys!

That only works every now and then. If you want a new IP, then you have to put a new nic in your comp. Or if the nic in your comp has the feature to change it's MAC addy you can just change the MAC of the nic and you'll get a new addy.
Otherwise your chances of getting a new IP are slim

| The only reliable way I have found to change IPs
is to swap between the two NICs on my computer.
This is prevalent even more since my IP lease is
24 hours now.

| Ip addresses are based on the mac address of the NIC card in your computer or WAN mac of your router. Lease times on these are supposed to be 4 days. If you disconnect the device from the modem for 4 days, your lease will not be able to renew itself and essentially, it could be taken by someone else.
Unplugging the modem will not change your IP address.\
If you leave the modem unplugged over 7 days, then the modem's IP lease may be lost, and new modem ip will be given, but because the mac address of your network card is the same, it will still pull up the same IP address. | |

| Re: Can i get a New IP? I assume that once the IP goes back into the IP pool, it could be assigned to anybody. By default, being placed back in the pool means that the ARP table no longer is matching your MAC address to that IP so you wont get it again unless by chance.
Changing your MAC or NIC, which is easy to do with a Linksys, will get you a new IP maybe. HOwever, they'll then begin to charge you for 2 IP addresses based on you using two computers(MAC addresses) on their service.
Check the lease time and leave the device that's reflecting its MAC address to ATTBI off for just over that period of time, and see if that works. | |

| Wouldn't releasing the IP via winipcfg (Win9x) or a ipconfig /release (NT), before switching off the modem make it possible to pull a new IP in less than 4 days; Or is it the WAN side IP address that causes the problem

| I went through this nightmare once after ticketmaster banned my ip address on their secure site. Yes, fun, I know.
I installed a second network card and I have new IP address. I can switch back to the other one if I want by simply moving the connector on the back of the PC - the DCHP command crap just does not work. | |

| No one has mentioned this yet, but if your modem supports usb connections, reboot the modem using the usb hookup. You should get a very different IP address than one on ethernet.
