I need to change my IP address for security reasons.
Im on Vista, and my ISP is comcast. I beleive I have a static IP because whenever I go online it is the same. I need to know how to change my IP. I have 3 computers in my home and all share the same IP. Im using a linksys wireless router but all 3 computers are connected to it via seperate ethernet cables. Will this work? http://www.ehow.com/how_2056398_chan...ows-vista.html Also will it screw up my connection to the internet and my other PC's? And how can I find my submet mask and default gateway? |

Only your ISP can change your Internet IP.

My IP is fixed by my ISP, the only way to change it is by using a proxy, no?
But he isn't asking how to change IP temporarily is he? He is asking how to change his ISP IP permanently. Only the ISP can do that. Correct me if I'm wrong. |

Then, what does the app in the pic I posted do? :/
It's Connection Properties>TCP/IP Properties. Maybe only your local IP? :/ |

You added that after I posted my message.
Anyway... That is your local IP, it does not change your Internet IP. So, if you are banned from a website or you are getting attacked by hackers, changing your local IP will do nothing to help you. Only your ISP can change your real IP address permanently. You could use a proxy if you are banned from a website, but, if you are being hacked or you visit a site that has an active and experienced security team it wont work, or not for long anyway. |
