IP adress

How do i change my IP adress?  I heard some people were doing it to evade bans from certain servers and this is my case.

Proxies probably.

Depends on your setup. Many ISPs change your address every time you connect, some have "sticky" IP addresses which may or may not change between connects, some will give you the same IP address every time, and some pass their traffic through a gateway or proxy so *everyone* has the same address (or range of addresses). If you're on a school/college/work LAN you probably won't be able to change your internet-visible IP address at all.

if you are on a college lan, you might be able to change it by spoofing your mac address so the network thinks you are a different computer

To answer the question:

shut down your modem, unplug all your wires, and leave it like that overnight. If this doesn't change your IP there's nothing you can do but ask your ISP.

You got banned for being a fag, now face it and quit bitching or being lame.

>>5 yeah... or you can use a proxy

(these instructions work for Windows XP.  they should work the same on any Windows version, but you may have to poke around menus to find the correct option page)

just go into the control panel/network connections, right click on your internet connection icon, select properties.  select the option for Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).  this'll bring up the ip configuration screen.

it's most likely set to "Obtain an IP address automatically".  this means your ISP gets to decide what IP address you use, and they're the only ones who get to decide when to change it.  since you don't want this, just click "Use the following IP address".  this lets you manually configure your own IP address.  you can change this as many times as you want.

the IP address consists of four fields.  these each consist of a number between 0 and 255.  in some cases, '0', '1' and '255' have special meanings, so you're best off selecting a number between 2 and 254 inclusive for this field.  pick four numbers to represent the new ip address you want, and enter one in each field.

Subnet Mask, this should always be set to 255.255.255.0 unless you know what you're doing.

for the Default Gateway, you would take the first three numbers you selected for your IP address, and replace the last number with a '1' (assuming you're using a 255.255.255.0 subnet mask like the last step recommended).  for example, if your new IP address is "42.168.22.107", your default gateway should be set to "42.168.22.1"

There are also two fields for DNS servers.  these fields are optional -- they're only used to find the address for a webpage or something if you don't already know the address.  if you feel you need to set them, you'll have to find a DNS server which will accept connections from your new IP address.  personally, i use "192.168.0.1" and it's never given me trouble, no matter what IP i set my computer to.

Note that the internet won't allow two people on at once if they both have the same IP address.  if your new IP address doesn't let you connect to the internet, you will just have to try another one.  there really isn't any way around this restriction, which is why most ISPs will try and give you your IP address automatically.  there's plenty of unused addresses out there though, so trial and error will find you something available in short order.

If you're using shared IP. There's no way you can change your IP unless you ask your ISP to do so.

knows not what he's talking about.
please ignore. the fact that his network connection is working is likely to be completely down to luck.

I lol'ed @ "spoofing your mac address"

Wear makeup, you won't be recognized

Tor might interest you. "Tor hides you among the other users on the network, so the more populous and diverse the user base for Tor is, the more your anonymity will be protected."
Which means you're contributing by simply being there
 
The downside may be that if you are using it to surf 4chan in order to troll, the probability of you coming across permabanned IPS is pretty high. But overall it's a great tool for anonymous surfing.

What's so funny about that?  Sure, you'd have to figure out the other MAC address to do it effectively, but that is likely just a minor concern.  Of course, any sane setup would instead look at what port you are connected to, not your MAC address, but hey, it might just work.

>>15 what port you are connected to

you do not understand the way computers work

>>16
Maybe not, but I know some networking.

>>14 better yet, if you can't bother make ALL your tcp/ip traffic go thru tor you can use Torpark: http://torpark.nfshost.com/
It's a firefox with tor capabilities.

Connections between computers are multiplexed. Otherwise you wouldn't even need a MAC address obviously.

I believe we are talking about a dormitory LAN where they might very well run the lines directly to a router of some kind.

Oh man, this isn't just stupid, this is comedy gold.
