what happens when you change your ip address on your computer?
926373
When you change or renew your ip, the DHCP assigns you a new one through your provider. IF you are with the same company there is a chance that you will not get another one. Go to your network connections, and click on the repair button (if you have XP). If you have ME or 98 then you will need to go to the run option under the start button, and enter winipcfg. Then click the release, and then renew button. This should give you a new one.\n\nHope this helps!

yes you can. but please note that IP address is NOT physical address. you can change your physical address by buying a new ethernet adapter card and that should do it. HOWEVER, if you change it, it won't change your IP address because your ISP set it up for you (because it's static IP)

IP Addresses are assigned to a computer by the ISP.\n\nAs you mentioned static IP addresses, commonly used by businesses, should never change.\n\nIf you have a static IP address you should be able to setup your PC with this IP address specifically.\n\nIf your IP address was taken, you'd get an error on boot up saying that the IP address is in use, or other network connectivity related issue.\n\nIf this is happening make sure you try to plug your computer directly to your ISP connection.  I have seen on occassion where a network printer setup dynamically get the IP address.  Other network devices are capable of this as well - so make sure your computer hasa direct connection and retry it with the IP statically assigned.\n\nIf it still doesn't work you'll need to contact the ISP and ask them for the IP address back.  \n\nKeep in mind many ISP that offer a "home business" plan don't guarantee that the IP won't change - although they try to avoid it as much as possible, network load balancing may cause the change.\n\nGood luck

1.IP address is usually dynamic.Check you IP\nin www.auditmypc.com. at different times.\n If it changes your IP address is dynamic.\n2.If static IP you cannot change it.Only your ISP can do it.

Well,\n\nBefore reading any of the below information, you need to be aware of some network basics.\n\nKnow the difference between a static IP address and a dynamic IP address. See each of the links for additional information about each of these terms. \nWhen on the Internet, it is up to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to assign and give you your network address seen by the Internet. Additional details posted below. \nIf you're planning on designating and/or using a static IP address, you should be aware of how IP address ranges are handled and netmasks. See each of these links for additional information. \nChanging your Internet IP address \n\nModem users\n\nWhen connecting to the Internet, your ISP will assign your computer an address each time you connect. This means that often each time you connect you'll have a different IP address. If you're wanting to change your IP address, try disconnecting and reconnecting.\n\nBroadband users\n\nAlmost all broadband service providers will assign your computer or home network a static IP address. If you're connected to a broadband network and need to change your IP address we suggest contacting your broadband provider.\n\nChanging your home network IP address\n\nMicrosoft Windows users\n\nTo change or specify the IP address of your computer for your own local area network (LAN), follow the below steps. Keep in mind that if you're connecting to the Internet with a broadband connection, adjusting your network settings may cause issues with your broadband connection. Finally, if your home network is setup through a network router, that router could be assigning your computer dynamic IP addresses, and specifying a static IP address may cause issues.\n\nGet to the Microsoft Windows desktop. \nRight-click on My Network Places or Network Neighborhood and click Properties. \nRight-click on Local Area Connection and click Properties. \nClick Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties. If this is not present, you'll need to install this protocol. \nIn the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window, select "Use the following IP address" if not already selected and specify the new IP address you wish to use. While entering this data you'll also need to specify the subnet mask and default gateway. \nLinux users\n\nThe below information is for how to specify and adjust your network settings through the command prompt. Changing your network settings will require root access.\n\nGet to the command prompt. \nMove to the /etc/sysconfig/network directory. \nEdit the interfaces file and adjust your network settings in this file.

What a really good question!\n\nIf you use a dial-up connection to the internet, then your IP address changes every single time you log on.\n\nIf you use an "Always-On" (High-Speed?) connection, then you may keep the same IP address for days, weeks, or even months!\n(Even if you re-boot!)\n\nOr, you may even have a "Static" IP address, which always stays the same.\n\nBut most sites don't use your IP address to identify you.\nMost sites, like hotmail and e-bay, use a small text file called a "Cookie". When you go to their website, they install this small, usually harmless, file onto your comuter called a "Cookie".\nWhen you come back to thier site, they search for their "Cookie" on your computer and, when they find it, they know who you are.\n\nYou can disable Cookies in your browser, but many sites will tell you that you must have cookies enabled in your browser to access ther web site.\n\nYou can clear your cookies after each web session\n(Launch Internet Explorer, then on the top bar, click on "Tools - Internet Options - Delete Cookies - OK)\nThen the next time you visit the web sites that use Cookies, they won't know who you are until you tell them by signing on.

In most cases, the IP address is assigned by the network that the PC is connected to.  It is stored in the PC (if you're running Windows, RUN... the command line program called ipconfig to see what your IP address is).   The reason it doesn't often change is that when and if it is reassigned, the network will often assign the same address as before.\n\n(There is another address, called the MAC address, which is assigned at the factory and is permanently unique.   There's not normally any reason to be concerned with it.  It is used at a low level in the communication protocols.)

Yes.. unless you can change the server ip address on all the machines u r gonna use.. \n\nOr if u have a DNS which gets updated on dynamic ip change. then too u can work it out w/o a static ip

You'll have to unpower, then let it reboot. If it's a dynamic ip address system, it'll be assigned another automatically. Static, DNS info can be set manually, and "told" to remain the same. If this info is mismatched with an external stand-alone router, it'll cause addressing conflicts.

Routers and NICs have a habit of pulling the same IP address, even when you tell it to renew your IP.  One possible way to fix this would be to use the reset button on the router.  This button is often located in the back of the router and is typically a small button that you need a paperclip or like object to push in.  Hold in the button for at least 10 seconds, and your router should pull a different IP address.  It's possible though, that your ISP has set an IP address to be assigned to your router (it's assigned in a DHCP table by your router's physical address (MAC address)).  If this is the case, you need to contact your ISP and ask them to change it.  Although, they likely won't help if your current IP address isn't causing problems.

IP address is tied to the computer not any particular email account or web site. If you are using the same computer, no matter how and from who you send it, the IP address will always be the same.

If you're using the Internet at home, your Internet Service Provider chooses your IP address and you cannot change it.

First empty your browser cache, cookies, and history from both computers.\n\nAre these computers in two different locations (i.e. different states). If you recently changed web hosts or updated your DNS information, the local ISP may still have the old IP address in it's directory.  Call the ISP and have them do a DNS flush (the tech will know what you are talking about).\nTry visiting the sites by the IP address of the site instead of the domain name.  This will prove that the ISP needs to do a DNS flush.\n\nThat's more of the detailed aspects, but without more info it's hard to know what you mean by "not get the same site."

IP can not be stolen, but IP can be changed if you have dynamic IP address (depend on type of your Internet connation)
