If you have a dynamic IP, usually a router restart gets you a new IP address. But I think with AT&T it doesn't work that way. It releases and renews at different times, I believe.

Mind telling us why you want a different IP?

IP addresses are given out by your ISP. They will either assign you a static IP address, or a dynamic one. AFAIK, only they are capable of changing your IP address if it's a static one, and it's luck of the draw for a change of a dynamic one.

If you know your ISP is providing a dynamic IP address, I've run across a site that suggests turning off your modem for an extended period of time, and you might get a new IP address.

Why is it you're looking to change your IP address anyway?

Most forums have rules against creating multiple accounts, do they not? And most bans usually have a good reason behind them. If you must change your IP address, a quick google search will bring up dozens of pages to show you how. And just a suggestion, though I don't know the entire story, consider not doing whatever it was that got you banned initially. If it's a temporary ban, just wait it out. If it's permanent, best of luck in not getting discovered and banned again.

its a permanent banned XD i did a joke on the owner of the forum and he took it to seriusly

 

[Mhmm]

Even if your ip changes it will remain very similar to the original one... any admin with a pinch of common sense will be able to identify you if you happen to draw attention.

I don't endorse any kind of ban evasion, but you should be able to change your IP address by resetting your router, modem and whatnot unless you have a global IP address. Turn off every device between your Mac and the wall socket for good measure and set them up again. Most likely it does the trick.

Just use a proxy that is availble on the internet

If you use Firefox, something like FoxyProxy is what you want

Use a proxy.

You know, asking something like that may get you banned from HERE!! 😛

Better find that IP proxy stuff quick 😉 😉
