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. |
