Cant change publi8c ip address~ help***

[Claire Voyant]

Very confused here. I have been chatting with the AT&T techs, have had 3 different answers to the IP address. He said the only IP that can be changed when resetting the gateway is only the local IP and not your public IP.And now regarding the public IP, it does change after rebooting the gateway,
however, it would only change if the system has been updated to do so and found it necessary.
We really do not have control over that.
only changes the devices IP or the gateways/router's IP
and still would not change its public IP

With turning the "verizon modem" off and back on:that only changes the devices IP or the gateways/router's IP and still would not change its public IP
Isnt AT&T that gave us the public IP address???
What to do now, tech told me to use dialup!!!

Read one or the other.. if your IP address is dynamic you can change it.

With AT&T uverse IP's are dynamic. Everything comes out of one box. The TV cable is hooked into the box also as the telephone. Nothing else goes to the TV but the cable line. No adapters at TV's end at all.
Looks like it is dialup for me!
You guys are awesome, thanks for the info*

Another thing, why does Mozilla Firefox have a different live IP address at the bottom?
It doesnt match any IP addresses on PC. But it does show the city I am in ! This is way to confusing for me !

Yep, I remember reading something about uverse having issues with IP changing..

Maybe use dialup for creating accounts and uverse + Auctiva for listing.
