That won't help...he has a router. IP addresses are temporarily assigned (bound) to the MAC address of the IP device connected to the cable modem. They automatically renew periodically and normally renew to the same IP address.*SAMM* said:If you have cable Internet change your Ethernet card. A new one cost about $16.00. And it will give you a new IP Address
Your IP is represented by a combination of the modem MAC and the CPE (Customer Premise Equipment) MAC (ie: your router or PC NIC MAC)not sure about it but i think rogers gives you a static ip ....i believe the ip is assigned to the mac address of the modem
Do you know how to open router configuration page? If not, what model of router do you have?freakshow said:isnt there a doo hickey i can buy for 20 bucks and just hook up to the back of my router???????//

No. You are at the mercy of your internet provider. They change customers ip periodicaly, but not often. Your best bet is to go through a proxy server. Also next time don't attract so much attention that they ban you by IP.freakshow said:isnt there a doo hickey i can buy for 20 bucks and just hook up to the back of my router???????//

for $0.02, I heard if you cover your router with aluminum foil no one can see you
Rogers will issue you a new IP and run you through the steps to do it ( as in wheelman's post). They assigned me a new IP recently ( when I complained about my connection being sluggish ).thewheelman said:Your IP is represented by a combination of the modem MAC and the CPE (Customer Premise Equipment) MAC (ie: your router or PC NIC MAC)
If you do a name lookup on your public IP (nslookup "IP Address") you will see your CPE MAC in the name.
