Changing IP for noobies-Non Proxy Methods

Main question at this point, if I request my ISP to change my IP from static to dynamic, will this basically solve the problem if I just unplug the modem when I want to change my IP?

Sorry for the delay, I wasn't watching my subscribed threads like a good boy should...

Yes, you'll definitely have to cancel your static plan. You won't be able to change your home IP otherwise, by definition.

If you have DSL, that's probably all you'll need. From then on you can powercycle your DSL modem to get a new IP (not elegant) or do a release/renew on whatever device is plugged into to DSL modem... your router if you have one, or the computer if it's directly connected.

If you have cable, then you'll likely have to do an extra step with the MAC address change... either on your router, or your computer if it's directly connected to the cable modem.

But first yeah, cancel that static IP... or nothing else will work to change your home IP, you'll have to use proxies.
 
Chaning MAC ID always helps it makes the ISP think u r using a new computer

router is the easiest to do... releasing doenst work with My isp I got a wireless router and just manual change the MAC to w.e number u want each number is a diff ip over 2000 to choose from.

much more simple
 
this is something that's always been a pain in the ass for me for some reason. I have embarq dsl and a linksys router that allows mac cloning, im 110% sure I have a dynamic ip (actually called them to make sure), and Ive had the same ip for months. Tried unplugging modem, then tried unplugging modem and changing mac address on the router, then tried unplugging modem, changing mac address, unplugging router, taking a shit, then plugging it back in. same ip as always. does embarq just hate me?
 
you sure your IP did not change ? ;)
Cable providers usually give static IPs but DSL usually dynamic.
 
yeah im sure it hasnt changed lol not really sure, would it just need more time to reset?
 
depends on the provider, if it's not changing even if your routers mac changed, well maybe they just force the IP by your credentials.
There is no way to change it then, would be a static IP I guess.

But to be honest, changing IPs like that sux anyway ^^
Maybe ok for a few accounts and small stuff, but not suitable for anything serious (or potential unlawfull of course)
 
I'm well aware of how to cloak my surfing if I needed too, but it's more for a local site that I promote on, like a mini craigslist, so not a huge deal but would be decent if I could figure out it regardless.
 
I guess a call to your provider could help, tell them you test the ip daily and it stays the same.
But honestly I prefer static IPs.
You can run services on them, nameservers and other stuff.
Usually DSL is very stable, from my experience even more stable than many professional hosters are.
So for small stuff it might be a nice (and free) way to host.

personal nameservers, a ftp/ssh dump for fileaccess from everywhere, etc
 
lol yeah I have plenty of paid hosting I can use, and probably use 10% of my resources as is, im just really fucking off with this and curious if I am just being retarded.
 
1. Reach down and unplug DSL modem.
2. Count to 10.
3. Plug modem back in.

New IP!

I was gonna make a video of this advanced procedure, but I think the written instructions should suffice.

Haha... I am using the same way with you.
However, I have written a small program to do this for me automatically.
Following is my Java code to do this work:

Code:
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.Credentials;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.UsernamePasswordCredentials;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.auth.AuthScope;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.GetMethod;

public class ADSL {

	public static boolean restart() {
		GetMethod get = null;
		try {
			HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
			client.getParams().setAuthenticationPreemptive(true);
			Credentials defaultcreds = new UsernamePasswordCredentials("user", "pass");
			client.getState().setCredentials(AuthScope.ANY, defaultcreds);
			get = new GetMethod("http://192.168.1.1/if.cgi?redirect=sys_status.htm&failure=fail.htm&type=wan_state_reset" +
					"&ifname=ppp0&ifstatus=Up&ifcmd=DISCONNECT");
	        client.executeMethod(get);
	        get = new GetMethod("http://192.168.1.1/if.cgi?redirect=sys_status.htm&failure=fail.htm&type=wan_state_reset" +
					"&ifname=ppp0&ifstatus=Down&ifcmd=CONNECT");
	        client.executeMethod(get);
	        Thread.sleep(10000);
		}catch(Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
			return false;
		} finally {
			get.releaseConnection();
		}
		
		return true;
	}
	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		restart();
	}
	
}
