You'll have to reset your router as well as your modem.
I use netgear as well, and they like to hold on to an IP Address.
I'm a lazy person... I like to find the easiest way to do something whether it cost more or not. I went out and bought three more netgear routers.
Each one has it's own mac address, so all you need to do is swap one out with another, reset your modem and go through the setup steps and you'll have a new IP in less then a few minutes.. easy easy.
A new netgear router cost $40 at Wal-mart.
Or if you want to do it the hard way, you can try and change your router's mac address in your router settings. That'll force an IP change...
There are a few threads on that in this section.
