Re: [Speed] Don't recycle your modem, eversaid by Nerdtalker:If it did indeed change, it's likely just because you pulled an IP with different (worse) routing. As strange as it sounds, the solution might be to do it again in the hopes of pulling one with better routing. When I got that new IP it was with a friends help in person. It was some command in dos prompt ipconfig something. Care to guide me through it? thanks,. |

Well, first, get to the command prompt by going start -> run -> cmd or hit Windows Key + R -> cmd Now, he probably just issued an "ipconfig /release" and, after the adapter releases, an "ipconfig /renew". Those are without quotes, of course. Run "ipconfig /all" to see everything about your current adapter statuses. |

If you want a new IP, you can try this method I describe in this thread. I think the dos prompt you are looking for is >ipconfig /release. » Cable Broadband! How to change my IP address?There is a little program called Winipcfg.exe that releases the IP, instead of using the command prompt. The link to Winipcfg.exe does not work anymore, but you can get a clone here » www.codeguru.com/cpp/i-n ··· 55/#more |

I also did what someone else sai and replaced the splitter with a better model and I do indeed have RG6 cable inside the room. so...???? [pulling out hair] |

Here's the best way to figure out what's going wrong. Try a traceroute to various routers throughout the country (a good list can be found on the internet traffic report site » www.internettrafficrepor ··· m#graphs) and then find out where the slowdown is occuring. Then call your ISP and complain and give them these traceroute results. C:\>tracert sl-gw9-nyc-8-0.sprintlink.net

Trace complete. Mine's showing problems in DC with Level3 routers. As for the IP address.... do you have a router or just a cablemodem? If you have a router, refreshing your IP will do nothing. Hook the computer up directly to the cablemodem (you'll have to power down the cablemodem for 15 seconds to clear the MAC address) and don't forget to enable the windows firewall or some other firewall. Then try the same traceroute. Any difference? |

Then call your ISP and complain and give them these traceroute results. I tried [4] locations, three were distant locations on that list and one was Very close. The largest number of hops was 20 hops, the highest ping time was 120ms. So I don't really see, unless I am missing something in my brain, any router [not on my end] problems. Perhaps it could be my router causing some kind of lag/slowdown. I am going to try connecting directly to the modem/bypass the router and see how it goes. thanks for helping. |

Been following this post for a bit because i have been having a similar problem. As far as running a tracert, No matter what site i use, It times out on the 3rd hop and on down. Any idea why? |

Well, I'm not sure what your friend did to make it instantly pull a different IP address. You might have to release, then wait a long time, and then renew. If you completely want to make certain you pull a different IP, there's an FAQ that I think has already been mentioned that details the procedure. It involves simply changing a mac address, rebooting the router, and boom, new IP. |

Winipcfg.exe works on XP. I am using it on my XP machine. » /r0/do ··· inip.JPGAxelrose, Releasing and renewing doesn't change your IP. Follow the steps I provided in the link in my previous post. I change my IP address every couple of weeks using this process. |
