Is it enough to just turn off the modem overnight for a fresh new IP address?
 

Hi guys.

Is it enough to turn off the modem overnight for a new IP address?

I know you get a new number after about 5 minutes, but are the numbers cycled? For example do you get say 10 IP address numbers and these are cycled so at some point you will get the same one again.

Or are there more or less an infinite amount of IP address numbers?

Thanks

Depends on your ISP. You're lucky as yours appears to be dynamic. Taking into account the problems you had yesterday, you are going to need to consider going beyond the same IP range....I just would not say to start again with IP numbers in the same range as those
older accounts.

What I recommend is that you run What Is My IP Address? - Lookup IP, Hide IP, Change IP, Trace IP and more... before you sign off the computer later. Turn off everything as you suggested. Then when you sign back in, check again.

ISPs allocate a certain lot for customers. The figures you mention are nothing like what happens. There's a post I'll find for you that explains it better. But do think of having a different IP :peace:

Neo,

Read thro' this forum. There's info there you need to grasp. :peace:

Sometimes you can get your ip reset by simply switching the device off for a minute and start it again.

Or, you can use following command

Start --> Run... --> cmd --> ipconfig /renew

Post reset you can see you new ip here

My IP Address

depends on your isp and the type of connection as greenbean said. you can always call up your isp.
