Re: I need my Rogers IP changed.

I have done nothing illegal, and i can care less if my IP gets posted on the net. I just told you guys this because i was going to tell those Rogers guys that this happened to me and i need my IP changed.

I tried MAC CHANGE, it just changes the last 2 digits of your IP and not your range.

This IP change is a must for something i do online, and its worth changing ISP, even tho i dont want to.

What if i leave my Modem off for like 10hours? Is there a chance of me getting a new IP?

Look, the IP address comes out of a pool ... and that pool is going to be in the same block. It's pot luck though whether you get a new IP in a different block or one in the same block, and given the way that IPs are assigned, chances are much higher you'll get one in the same block. Chances are better to get a different block getting a new IP in the middle of the night ... but it's still not very good!

Ah, an IP ban.

Use an anonymizing proxy, then.

Yeah, a proxy is probably your best bet for something like that. You can get a pay one (which should give good performance) or spend some time locating a free one every time you need to access "whatever" (they go down a lot).

You can also wait it out and hope that EVENTUALLY Rogers starts up a new block in your area. Although I've been on 99.* for an awefully long time now.

how much is it worth to you to get a new ip and still keep rogers ?
for $40/month you can add a second ISP

I have a RV082 dual wan router with two ISP's one cable and one DSL if I need a 99. ip I use WAN 1 and if I need a 206. ip I use WAN 2. I'm able to do bandwidth management, DNS management, DHCP management, Port management, Protocol managmenet ect...
simple as pie.
