I am lost on IP changing

[Zaku77]

Howdy folks. I really need some step by step help. I am very computer literate, but just finally got DSL about 2 years ago, so I have no clue at all what I am doing with networks. That said, I recently got suspended, was unfair, blah blah. The point is I need to change my IP. I have no idea how to though. Everything I have read and watched explain how to change the 192.168.x.x type address. I see my rang in my DHCP settings, but there's a problem with that.

When I check my IP, it starts with 69 (I obviously don't want to put it in here) and is only a number off from my gateway IP address. Upon further inspection, I noticed that my IP is my WAN IP. How on earth do I change this? I've tried unplugging the modem/router (our's are combined) and that's hasn't worked. Even if it did though, there's nothing saying it won't go back, and mess my new account up completely. Can I set up a Static IP that will change the WAN IP instead of the 192.168.x.x that all the help videos seem to address. Can I call my ISP and beg for a new IP address?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks a lot!

(edit: It seems the difference is public vs private ip. I need to change the public it seems)

The WAN IP is the only IP address you need to change. You should use a different IP address(es) for each eBay account.

You could try mobile broadband which gives you a new IP each time or you should change your ISP to one that has a dynamic IP address that changes each time you resart/resett your router/modem.

Go to this site www.ipburger.com - that is the ONLY IP address you need to worry about changing.

Hi Again ShadyOne

The elephant has changed it's name now when you say try mobile broadband do you mean like a 3g dongle

I am just in the middle of reading stealth at the moment and i must say that ip address has got me stumped at the minute no doubt the penny will drop when i have read 60 times

Cheers

^ Yeah that is exactly what I mean. A lot of people in stealth use it.

I would go for mobile broadband (dongle etc) or a dynamic ISP (BT broadband, Sky etc).
