Joel, Are you referring to the IP address assigned to a single computer within a local area network or the IP address presented to web sites from your Internet Service Provider? I am assuming you are referring to your LAN IP address. That is usually assigned by your router. Another question... Why do you want to change it?
Tom the one provided by router...I want to change to get into a room that had the nerve to ban me lol! also Im told it will eliminate a lot of spam in my mail box.
Joel, The IP addresses used for this last post was: 205.188.116.17 This is not the IP address assigned by your router. I would guess that router assigned address to be: 192.168.1.???. These are two different addresses. Changing the router assigned address will not change the IP address seen by the web page.
I was told to unplug modem and router for 2 hours..this didnt work. Also told to delete cookies..havent tried yet...thanks!

Thank you for your e-mail. I understand you want to know how to change you IP address. I am glad to assist you. The Cox High Speed Internet network is a DHCP IP network with a lease time of approximately 24 hours. What this essentially means is, for 24 hours your computer has the same IP address attached to your computer name. After that 24th hour, our system releases the IP information and reassigns it. Most of the time it releases and renews the same IP address so the computer can quite possibly have the same IP address and never know that it has been released. The Cox High Speed Internet Network does not guarantee that any or all customers will receive the same IP address after the release and renewal process. To change your IP address, you would need to leave your cable modem unplugged for over 24 hours. This would cycle the IP addresses and give your computer a different IP address. I hope you have found the information above useful.
