Do_Not_Fear_cause_I'm_here Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 So, I watch This vid tutorial on how to change IP Address'. BUT, does it work with any routers? Does it work with modems? My router is NETGEAR. Please answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris82 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 1. Why is this in Serious Chat? 2. Why did you link to a downloadable file that, although free of viruses, is far too small to be any kind of video? 3. I'm assuming the tutorial leads you to use the ipconfig /release and /renew commands, which should work regardless of your hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Do_Not_Fear_cause_I'm_here Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 -.- It DOESN'T contain any virus. You're starting a program. I'm just asking. If its not compatible with NETGEAR and if I start the application of changing IP's, then my internet connection could have problems. Could shut down my router. Effect it really bad. P.S. Sorry for not replying back earlier. I was looking up JabbaWockeeZ on www.youtube.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSanityHD Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Dude, your IP will change if you reset (restart) your router. Unplug the power cable, leave it out for 5 minutes, then put it back in. The connection will validate, and then attempt to establish a connection to the router, then CONNECTED! Done, IP changed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris82 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Because I just want to. Why? If we're giving you help you can give us a reason. If you did something illegal and you're afraid of being tracked down then just changing your IP will not lower your ISP's ability to find you. Dude, your IP will change if you reset (restart) your router.Unplug the power cable, leave it out for 5 minutes, then put it back in. The connection will validate, and then attempt to establish a connection to the router, then CONNECTED! Done, IP changed... Depends on the router, he should power cycle his actual modem too, to change both the external and internal addresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you did something illegal and you're afraid of being tracked down then just changing your IP will not lower your ISP's ability to find you. Agreed. If you did something, such as abusively downloading from Rapidshare or from BitTorrent, then it's a no-no... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX22B1998 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 (edited) ^ true because they (probably) know your cable modem / adsl modem's MAC address, or they have some way of telling what MAC address is using / used what IP oh and wtf is with that link? its not a program or a video or anything...

I'm assuming the tutorial leads you to use the ipconfig /release and /renew commands, which should work regardless of your hardware. I dont know if they work for me for two reasons: I use a router (built into my modem): I am using Windows Vista. I think I would have to release the IP on the router, renewing the IP on the computer probably just does the local IP for that machine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Psh, illegality and IP addresses? People are too paranoid. I've been mass-downloading random shit for years. If they thought that a threat or a problem, I would've been in prison years ago. And trust me, I do have shit to hide. My IP address use to reset if I turned off my modem. Funny, I use to do it to get back into these very forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you change your IP and they do wanna find you, can they obtain your new IP from your old one, or is that IP not tied to you anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockstarrem Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 The government can find anyone on the internet, lets put it that way. As for your router problem I'm interested, fixed yet? Did the IP change work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JabbaWockeeZ Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 If you wanna change your IP Address so much, you can just call you ISP and ask them to change your IP Address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRX22B1998 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 thats if he has static IP, which i think mostly you dont have. if you powercycle your modem it will probably change ip address, but dont expect that your isp will not know it was you downloading it as theres probably something that shows the MAC address of your modem (fixed hardware code) to what IP address thats been used. true because they (probably) know your cable modem / adsl modem's MAC address, or they have some way of telling what MAC address is using / used what IP like i said earlier...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
