Hello friends, I was wondering if there was any way to change your IP Address?

If not, does anyone know any way to get back on a forum if you're IP Banned? Thanks!

If Rajah sees that, he'll kill your acount.

How to automatically obtain an IP address
Use these steps to configure the computer to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. Note that you must have a DHCP server.
1. Click Obtain an IP address automatically.
2. Click Obtain DNS server address automatically if you do not want to specify the IP address of the Domain Name System (DNS) server.
3. Click OK. In the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box, click OK.
4. Click Start, and then click Run.
5. In the Open box, type cmd, and then click OK.
6. At the command prompt, type ipconfig /release, and then press ENTER.
7. Type ipconfig /renew, and then press ENTER. The network adapter is assigned an IP address by the DHCP server, and a message similar to the following message appears:
Windows 2000 IP Configuration

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :dns.microsoft.com
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . :192.168.0.201
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . :255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :192.168.0.1
8. Type exit and then press ENTER to quit the command prompt.

Normally you can start straight from step 4.

Meh, it's not that easy as everyone thinks it is.
Iprelease and renew has never worked for me, or anyone else I know.

Both can be done however I am not going to promote the how to, to get around it. If someone gets blocked from a forum, website, etc. it is usually for good reason. Aside from that though just as some general information for you, there are many variables that go into this. Things like your ISP, the method which is used to block (there are more than just a direct ip block).

If you seriously want to pursue it though I would suggest looking through google as all the information is there.

You got ADSL? Im pretty sure it doesn't work on ADSL coz I've tried it, but when I used to have CABLE at my old house, I used to try and get myself banned from all game servers then I just kept popping back in. The first few digits were selective though. So, if they were going to ban a mask, they'd have to ban

255.*.*.*
210.*.*.*
217.*.*.*
211.*.*.*
204.*.*.*

And thats really something no server can do, coz that'd be banning a lot of Aussie people. So I dunno, maybe it works with cable.

As for your question...

RUN - ipconfig -

Type release - Enter

Then Renew - Enter

If that doesn't work, nothing much else will, unless you contact your ISP.

^^^ADSL? Please, I'm a serious internet user. I have cable. I've tried the IP release/renew things for years and it's never done a thing.

I have a good friend who actually works for my ISP as a technician. He's my computer Yoda and he can't change my IP address, or his own for that matter with our ISP.

Not sure why then =P

I had optus cable, it was only 13-14 months ago. Ill try to find a log to show you my different IP addresses that I changed at will. Couldn't get cable at my newly built house, so 1500 ADSL was the only solution.

As for changing it with the ISP, its only something i've heard, never tried.

With my ISP, all you have to do is disconnect for about 5 mins then when you reconnect you'll have a new IP.

If all else fails, proxies are the way forward.

See here... this was a log from my server, which recorded the IPs and the names of the players. In this game, I went by these two names on my server. Note the different IPs. Most of these I changed at will. I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you, but it used to for me.
