Hello I'm with Virgin media with a wireless router how do I change my IP so eBay can't link to my old one?
i would NOT recommend sky for ip address switching
it takes too long sometimes for the ip to change,and even when you switch the router off and on it still gives you the same,it still works but there are better options out there
dongles work great, any of the mobile phone providers provide them and i heard they are all pretty decent
you can connect as many p'cs as you like to the openzone at the same time using the same login details and all the computers will have different i.p's
BT is excellent. No need to worry about the price when you can make good money. Anyway, it is only £16 a month, first 4 months is free...
I put a thread out a few weeks ago about how BT offer unlimited openzone and BTFON minutes for free. Each time you connect, you get a completely different IP. That way you can "hold" an IP using your router (BTHomeHub 3), whilst using a different IP on the Openzone, etc...
I have been monitoring the IP's as ever, and I have never come across a duplicate yet.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to agree with MR GTB, Sky is now terrible for changing IP addresses, I've tried to change my IP address but it does not change at all.
but recently i have had a few ip`s come up that i have had previously and sometimes when i turn router off,leave for about a minute and back on again the ip doesn't change
i had bt before and it was much better for ip switching
If you change your ip number on sky..Make sure you keep a record of the ip numbers cos sometimes it gives you an exact ip number that you used a few months ago on the sky method its happened to me so be warned campers

=Vi have virgin media modem and a dlink dir615 router. I usually change my ip up to 3 times a day before getting a 169 ip address problem. all i do is alter the mac address by 1 digit on my network card or by 1 digit on the cloned mac address on the router. I have 2 linksys 2 line telephone adapters plugged into the router with 4 phones connected to 6 sipgate accounts as well.
i turn off the modem. edit the mac address on the network card or change the last digit of the cloned mac on the router Use numbers 0 to 9 or letters A to F. dont forget to record the old mac address and the old ip address on a spreadsheet. i turn off the computer and re boot the modem. once the modem has settled about a minute i reboot the router and or then the pc. a new ip address appears. i boot up in a different windows id then firefox to IPBurger and there’s a new ip. i record this new ip and also the new mac address. if i change more than 3 times i usually get a 169 ip address from windows meaning it didnt get an ip from virgin. if i need to go back to the previous windows id and ip address i look up the previous mac address edit it from the current and re boot etc usually getting the previous IP address. Where I live a dongle is very slow or at worst no connection.
To all the Virgin crew that can change their IP thanks. I dont have that setup but I knew for certain there was a way and you lot confirmed my suspicions - nice one.
If I did have Virgin, I would have kicked arz like you lot.
