How do I change my ip Address on my macbook pro running snowleopard?
lol, your IP address depends entirely on your network setup, it has nothing to do with your computer type or OS.
yup
turn off your laptop.
then press reset on your wireless router. Might wanna do this two or three times.
Turn on your laptop and clear your casche.
done.
You cant ever, the MacBook Pro's have a CRT4 chip
Seriously!?!?! If you don't know the answer, then don't post. IP addresses are changing all the time. When you go to Starbucks you have an ip address, when you go home, it's different, when you are at the office, it's different.
You can change it every minute if you want to.
I think MagicMouse may have been thinking of the MAC Address, but that can be spoofed (changed) as well.
So, I'll say again... If you don't know the answer, please refrain from posting.

You seem super smart...why did you dig up a 2 year old thread?
LOL! I didn't notice how old it was. My mom got a notice that another device on her network was using the same IP address as her Macbook Pro. I was googling for the terminal command to force the router to assign a new IP address to her machine (because I don't have that kind of minutiae memorized), and I saw this.
In case anyone is interested in the answer...
- Click on the "Applications" folder.
- Click on the "Utilities" folder.
- Click on the "Terminal" application.
- Type... "sudo ipconfig set en1 dhcp" in the terminal window.
- Enter your system password.
The Mac will request a new IP address from the DHCP server and you will be golden.
