How To Request A New IP Address From Your ISP
- What is the most efficient way to generate a new external IP address from my ISP? -
I get variations on this question often. I'll tell you what to try:
1. Click Start
2. Click run
3. In the run box type cmd.exe and click OK
4. When the command prompt opens type the following: *Press 'enter' after each new line.
5. Erase your cookies in whatever browser you are using.
Frequently you will be assigned a new IP address when this happens. Sometime you will, sometimes you will not. If you are on a fixed IP address, this method will not work. If this works for you, you may want to save the above commands into a batch file, and just run it when you need it.
