I couldn't get the old IP back either...I did notice when I run cmd then ipconfig/all at the bottom it tells me how long the lease is for..mines for only 1 hr..but I haven't had any problems using a different IP each time as long as it has been in my city..but after that hr is up I get a new set of numbers rather than just the last 2 sets changing..

I only can seem to get two different Ip addresses from this method?. Any ideas?. Thanks.

What about your MAC addres?
 

I've heard that your mac address must be changed. I think the MAC of your cable modem is attached to your IP once it's forwarded from your router, so wouldn't you also have to buy a new cable modem?


:)

Try unplugging your modem overnight works for me..I gives me two then I unplug the modem and USB cable from the computer..plug it back in in the am and I get one new number ane one of the "old" numbers..I only need 2 or 3 at a time so it works good for me..sometimes I just unplug for an hr and it changes too..

Just courious on these ip address are they randomly across the US or all with in your city just dif ips?

Mine have been either in my city or another city in my state, once I got one from another state...

i know Josh mentioned you can use your old ip's by typing it in manually. But I cannot get my DHCP to be enalbled. Anyone had any luck with reusing their old ip's. My DHCP says disabled and i cannot figure out where to get it to enable. thanks

Hi !!

Ive been through the same issue till Ive sorted it out.

The guide is missing some important steps:

At the end, when you want to switch back to the other IP:

1- go back to tcp ip, type the IP/Submask/Gateway info
2- leave the DNS fields EMPTY
3- press OK twice

(at this point if you ipconfig /all you'll see lots of missing info but the new IP should be there)

4- open the TCP/IP section again
5- switch to `Use Automatic IP address`
6- press OK twice

That's it!! now ipconfig /all will display complete information with the dns obtained automatically from isp (no need to input them manually).

Hope this helps!

I tried that just now. But it gives me a new ip. I have couple ip's that i used before and it is not taken by someone else. But when I do your last step to automatically obtain an ip, it gives me a new one. I would like a way to get an old ip back. This is what i did:

-Go to tcp/ip properites
-Type in the ip, subnet and gateway
-check get dns automatically
-press ok
-check ipconfig/all and see the ip i typed in on step 2
-go back to tcp/ip and click obtain ip automatically
-check ipconfig/all again and the ip changed to a new one.

Is this what you did as well, and were you able to CHOOSE an old ip from before. thanks

Hi!

Try this, in 3)- instead of "get dns automatically"
tick as if you will enter manually the DNS but leave it blank. Also make sure the Subnet is exactly the same and not the one that is generated automatically after you change field as this entry may differ from the one you had before. - OK+OK

At this point ipconfig/all will show u the IP but there is no net connection at all.

Continue to tcp/ip again and switch to automatic IP AND automatic DNS. - OK+OK

What can be happening is the IPs you want to switch to are already assigned. Try switching back to your recently used IP just to test the method, post back if it worked for you!

IP address never changes with my cable provider
 

I tried this and I got a problem.

My cable provider assigns me the same IP address even after the lease expires or after I try to release and renew it. I called 'em up and they seem to know as much about networking as I do and basically told me what I already knew. Maybe it will change and maybe it won't.

I read a post somewhere today that said that the ISP has a table, they call it the DHCP table if I am correct, for IP addresses for all clients and basically to ensure that all clients get their addresses the table usually just re-assigns the IP addresses to them. Mine has been static for about a week now and I read other customers of my cable company say theirs has been static for 6 months.

So if this doesn't work you think I should switch to DSL or dialup?

ok i got it to work but...
 

Ok I started getting a hang of it just last week, took me a long time but this is where i am at right now. Couple months ago i was jotting down the ip's, default gateway and subnet. Well i was able to go back to those ip's with the method started in this thread. But i was only able to go back to 3 of those ip's.

I spoke with Roadrunner tech support last weekend and this is what they told me. Once the ip's are released, the ip's goes back to the pool and when that happens roadrunner don't have them for their customers no more. It seems as though what he was saying is true, becuase the past 20 ip's i been getting i cannot get them back unless i do so within 5 minutes. But for the 3 that i have been able to go back to, these 3 ip's have been sitting around for a month and a half or so and i am able to obtain these ip's again.

So basically i am trying to figure out, it might be something i did to keep these ips available in the roadrunner ip pool without them loosing it. I don't know if its luck or something i did.

Can someone explain why once the ip's are released by me, the ip's are not available to roadrunners customers no more.

I got a new IP address after first try. Then I try to type ipconfig/release again in the cmd. It shows
"Windows IP Configuration

The operation failed as no adapter is in the state permissible for this operation."

I don't know if I did anything wrong. Please advice. Thank you.

I tried to type ipconfig/release on my windows vista laptop.
It shows
"The requested operation requires elevation."
What should I do? Thank you.

Does ebay detect the MAC address of the DSL router WAN port? As per Stealth book, eBay doesn't, but eBay can easily detect your IP address, why can't they detect the DSL router WAN port MAC address? MAC address is supposed to be unique address.

Anyone knows ?

hi MrJosh:

I really doubt your method. What you are changing is the IP address in LAN. You Internet IP address is your WAN IP address, something like, 202.x.x.x or 44.x.x.x That is the IP that eBay detects and records.

Go to What Is My IP Address? - IP Address Lookup, Bandwidth Speed Test, IP Info, plus more to write down your real IP address.

These 3 IP segments are private IP ranges and usually used in LAN, but not in WAN.
192.xx.x.x
172.x.x.
10.x.x.
See Wiki: Private network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So, after you changed your IP from 192,168.0.1 to 192.168.0.10, you didn't change your WAN IP. You use ipconfig/all to see the LAN IP has been changed, but actually you are still using same IP address to login eBay. Be careful, you will be banned someday

Go to this website to run a test: What Is My IP Address? - IP Address Lookup, Bandwidth Speed Test, IP Info, plus more

nope, this definitely works, if it didn't I would have been linked long ago

My case is even worse, only the last digit changed a little, like it was 59 before and now is 60. I am wondering if anyone can help with it. By the way, I followed instruction and only 2 totally different IP (all digits change) were ever assigned. what is going on?:confused:

aspkin assured me the other day that the last digit change is still OK. Say the IP range is

123.456.76.12, then you change whatever way and the new range is
123.456.76.21 aspkin said that is fine. Hope this helps.

Just got a Linksys WRT54G2 today hooked up with my cable model. I tried to change the MAC address to force the cable provider give me a new IP address every time. It works great. The IPs I received are totally different every single time. For example: first time was 75.128.xx.xxx, second time was 24.205.xxx.xxx, third time was 71.9.xx.x. Thank the forum to help me get back to ebay again.

Really important question in regards to this I am hoping someone can help me. So I purchased a dial up connection, very cheap (very frickin slow) but totally worth it if I can run multiple accounts. I got dial up because I thought the entire IP range would change which looks a lot better when creating accounts or logging into different accounts. But the range is always the same, just the last few digits stay the same. But greenbean are you and aspkin stating that even though the range is exact, if the last few numbers change it is acceptable? I was planning on purchasing a secound dial up connection because ISP's have different ranges. Would you recommend that? Anyone can recommend any options for canadian users, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Yeah. aspkin has assured me each time I have asked him about this: so I work with a range of IPs which to me do seem restricted. There has been no problems. I keep a log of every thing I do including IPs. There are other users here, like me and not that computer literate, who run their accounts well with this type of range.
Mak, bottom line is as of 00:30am Calgary time, this is a working system. I have signed in and out of accounts x4times today. Each time I have signed back on, my IP has been different as described above. To give you confidence, if this does NOT work, you will hear me SCREAM, really really loudly.:eek:

GreenBean thanks!! saved me a lot of headache. It is really scary logging into different accounts with that "restricted" ip range but I say hell with it worth a shot, what's the worst that could happen they suspend me? Used to it by now :) Thanks again for the help, much appreciated.

This does not work with embarq. I regret changing it now. I called them up and can only do it with I let go of the dhcp ip in the modem. No mac address work nata...

The directions to changing my IP worked nicely but my question is if i try to find my ip through websites like whatismyip.com it'll say my real city while on my different ebay accounts my cities are not the same. They're near mine, but i wanted to switch it up as to not raise suspicion so each one is registered to surrounding cities. Do you tihnk ebay will check my IPs and wonder why all the IPs are in the same city but the cities on file are not?

I use AOL Dial Up Service for my internet gateway to eBay.
Most of my ip's used to be out of Virginia.
Now they just say AOL as the city and region.
This has never caused a problem for me.
Non of my accounts were ever out of Virginia or that new state AOL... LOL

hmm...i've been workin with the IP switches for a while now and its been fine. Ive recorded the certain ips/masks/etc for each corresponding account and everytime id log into one acount id switch it to the corresponding IP with the ways provided by MrJosh. But i dont know why tonight, when i try to go back to a certain ip/mask/gateway/etc it doesn't work. cmd>ipconfig does show the IP i need, but when i try to go on the net page cannot load. Any idea why this is happening or how i could fix it? its so random...

edit//

i just realised the first IP for my first acc doesnt work but my 2nd IP for my 2nd account works fine. in other words i can switch it to my 2nd IPs information through use own IP in the properties but i cant use the 1st one. Do these IPs expire or something? and wether they do or dont, can i just get a new IP and use that everytime i use my 1st acc, replacing the one that doesnt connect anymore? I just tried switching from a new IP to my 2nd acc's IP and back and it worked fine. If i assign this new IP to my 1st ebay acc, will ebay care if my IP switched as long as its not used in my 2nd account? God, much sleep lost over this problem. No idea why it suddenly stopped working i was doing good...

hmm that above sounds a little confusing. I'll rephrase myself.

I had:
ebay acc 1 (EB1) and IP info which i started this ebay acc with (IP1)

then had
another ebay acc (EB2) and info corresponding to that or aka (IP2)

everytime i wanted to log into one ebay acc or the other, id switch back to the corresponding IP so that i was sure not to use the same IP for both accounts.
Now IP1 has decided not to work for me when i switch to it, so i've gotten a third new ip (IP3) jus to test out. I tried switching back and forth from IP2 to IP3 and back to IP2 and it works fine. Since IP1 doesnt work should i assign IP3 to EB1 and just switch to IP3 everytime i want to log into EB1? I'll leave EB2 and IP2 the same since theyr fine. If no one has any idea why IP1 suddently stopped working/cant be switched to, would this be a logical solution?

IP addresses do expire. You cannot be guaranteed of obtaining that same IP address.

It's been recommended that you keep track of which IPs each account has used.
eBay/PayPal have other ways of identifying that you are the owner of the account. They use cookies and flash cookies. If you use separate Windows user accounts for each eBay/PP account, you can keep the flash cookies in that Windows user account and they will not cross-contaminate other Windows user accounts.

Thanks a lot. Yeah im keeping track of the ones im using for each since they expire. As for the cookies and flash cookies...i delete cookies evertyime i log out of an account via ctrl+shift+del. Is simply deleting cookies enough to keep cookies from cross contaminating or do i have to go through further steps?

wow. I just found that my IP2 has expired also. Checking the info i had saved it was only activated for 24 hours. I tried waiting an hour after getting the new IP and then when i redid ipconfig/all the lease has changed for until thursday. so at least i got 4 days under it. Wish there was a way to keep renewing the same IP so i wouldnt have to keep changing them when they expired.

There are cookies and then there are the new flash cookies. Regular cookies are easy to delete, flash cookies are a little more stubborn.

Hi Everyone Anyone Got How to Change IP Address When Using a Wireless Router with Cable Internet I Cant find a link for it if someone could help I Would Appreciate it.

I have tried this thing probably 30 times or more and it simply wont allow me to use the internet. it also never changes from my IP. No matter what I do it simply shows 68.103.145.168 EVERY time. When I try the # listed on the instructions it will only show IP and subnet mask when in the CMD. on the bottom of the list there is shows

Lease Obtained....................... Thursday, November 06, 2008 7:32:52
Lease Expires.......................... Friday, November 07, 2008 7:32:52 PM


What do I do? this is the one holdup I am having with the AuctionStealth book. I am ready do go full bore but this is holding me up. Would simply changing from my Cable ISP to DSL fix this whole mess?

Thanks

Hope this doesn't sound like a stupid question, but I just want to make sure I'm doing everything right..

I will be using multiple windows user accounts, 1 for each ebay account. The time when I want to change my IP address each time is IMMEDIATELY AFTER I switch to a different windows account but BEFORE I log in to my ebay account.
Correct?

How is this done with a Macintosh ?

Elevation Required?? Please Help
 

I've tried over and over again the different methods to change my Ip. And keep getting the message "Elevation Required" When I type in "ipconfig/release" in CMND. :( I've tried some of the other methods too with no luck. :pout: I have Comcast Cable internet, and no router, just directly connected to the modem from my Toshiba lap top. Any help would be SO GREAT!!

Are you putting a space in the command?

ipconfig /release

Also, are you connecting wireless from the laptop, or connected via ethernet wire?

I'm connecting through ethernet wire directly to the laptop, I didn't put a space in it.... is this what I'm doing wrong?

:( Tried it with a space, still the same message: The requested operation requires elevation

Probably yes. ipconfig/release is one unit and ipconfig /release is a command with instructions. Different thing. For example Christopher is one thing while Chri Stop Her! is another.
