I can't change my ip address for some reason, I have never had this problem before. I have tried doing the dos way ipconfig/release and I also tried going through my local connection changing my protocol. Neither of these methods have worked any other suggestions?:confused:
p.s. sorry I forgot. Lol.. I am running off windows xp and using iexplorer 7.

If you could please give us a load more information then we will be able to help you resolve your issue.
Which address are you referring to ?
The one that comes up in IPCONFIG depends on the following;
Are you on a home network ?
What type of internet connection do you have ?
Router or USB modem ?

ANything else you can think of.

I am so sry I left that info out. I was meaning when you go to run and tell it to run cmd when that comes up I was putting the ipconfig/release and disconnect from the internet and usually it gives me a new ip when I finish the process but it didn't today. I use a cable modem, yes I have home networking. I hope this helps ty for responding

The IP is normally assigned by your Internet provider via their DHCP server. The server is set to maintain the same IP for each user until it is necessary to change.

As an example. I have cable internet also, and have had the same IP for over a year. Only this year did it change, and that is done automatically through my router.

So it shouldn't be necessary for you to manually renew the IP.
