Re: Changing my IP address

leave ya modem unplugged for 30 mins, just a reboot usually doesnt reset ya ip as its still stored at the exchange.

leave it unplugged for 30 mins so the exchange has time to refresh. then when you plug back in it will recreate your connectiona and should give u a new wan ip
