1258241 2012-02-09 04:54:00 Hey everyone, I want to find a quick way of getting a new IP address from my ISP.
My router is a Dynalink RTA1320V6 running version 3.65p firmware.

Even the slow process of rebooting the router does not seem to fix this. Any advice?

Notes:
I am with Slingshot and I am 90% sure I do not have a static IP

You probably need to ask them, if you want more than a guess...

1258243 2012-02-09 05:08:00 Some ISP's charge for a static ip. You can use a static ip within a network (if thats what you mean). Just change the ip under the network adapter Speedy Gonzales (78)

This is fairly inconvenient...
I think by spoofing another MAC address the ISP might think it is another device and give a different IP but I am not sure it is possible on my router.
Maybe I will have to connect to the broadband directly with my computer to allow this...

This isn't what I am asking.

1258246 2012-02-09 05:24:00 There is no way to force an IP address change from your end. If you are on a dynamic IP address it will change at a schedule set by your ISP. You can try completely disconnecting the Phone line and power cycling to try and make the exchange end refresh but it may not make a difference, sometimes my IP address stays the same for days when I've bothered to check.

Why would you need a different IP address?, someone got that one banned from something?

Then I hit connect and couple seconds later I have a new IP address.
