I don't know about your specific provider but cable providers often give static ip addresses.
That means you can not switch the IP.
You can find out by doing the same stuff as for DSL.
Try restarting the modem (keep it off for a minute at least) requesting a new IP (through ipconfig) or change your mac/use another network interface.
If all of that does not change your IP then you've a static IP and can not change it.

if it's on PPPOE, and your network card can change MAC, change it and redial

If you have a dynamic IP you can probably change it by resetting your modem and network connection settings, but if its statis you cant change it... :/
It could be Static IP.... because time to time, I unhook the wall outlet to reconnect the internet access and when I checked the IP address, it stays the same.
Is it possible that I may call the cable company and ask to change the IP address?

What make of cable modem are you using? you can flash most of them with
haxorware or infinate software to unlock them you can then reprogram them
to any mack you want but you need to use one in the same range as your
cable provider for your local area. If you do a search there are plenty of cable
modem modding boards online where you can learn how to do it. I make a good
sideline modding cable modems in the Uk so people no longer get network charges.
I even had a reply to one of my gumtree posts from a very high ranking member
of this board.
PM me I'll host the pdf instructions and software for you but you'll have to get
your own MAX232 cable to do the configuring with.

Same thing for Comcast. They issue IPs on leases per MAC address. I can restart modem 100 times and still have same IP. But change my MAC address and reboot, boom new IP.
look up macshift, its a little dos app. then create a batch file to call the macshift like so:
Then just run the batch file and it will change your mac for you. Rename "Local Area Connection" with whatever yours is called.. But it should be around quotes.
Then just reboot modem and you will have a new IP.
You could also do this manually, or if you have a router that has the MAC Address Clone feature. Change the router's MAC and reboot modem. You will get a new IP.

Easiest way is to use proxies and voila , you problem of not accessing websites is solved !

Ok i've uploaded a cable modem guide for you here it's for the Uk but there is
a section on US modems, I'm off to bed now but i'll put other stuff up tomorrow
I have all the software to go with it but it's not to hard to find if you look hard
enough.
Using these methods takes you right off the network. So you don't exist.
