resetting ip address: not a big deal

An IP address (Internet Protocol Address) is a logical address of a network adapter. The IP address is unique and identifies computers on a network. An IP address can be private, for use on a LAN, or public, for use on the Internet or other WAN. How do I change my IP address? and Can I change my IP address? are the most commonly found questions on internet.

Before trying any other methods to change the IP address, try turning off Cable/DSL modem for five minutes. In many cases this will change your IP address. However, if that does not change IP address, repeat the process for 8 hours instead of 5 minutes. Hopefully this will result in an IP change. If the above does not result in IP address changing, I can't help you .
