SOURCE: Ip address

You have 2 IPs:

One for your cable modem, and the other for your PC.
When you unplug your modem, your PC IP stays the same, but not on your modem (refer to your ISP for this). Now if you want to change your IP on your PC, to to the TCP/IP settings for your network interface and set a manual one.

SOURCE: I am a smart bro

As long as you don't have a static IP you should be able to change this by simply turning off your modem for a few minutes. Check your WAN IP before you do it and after. The norm is to go to 192.168.1.1 but there are many other setups as well that are possible. of you know how to access your modem or your router you should be able to see your WAN IP on either of them to confirm change.

SOURCE: IP Address

Hi,
To check your Computer(Private/Local) IP address:-Use the following command prompt start->run->cmd->ipconfig/all
And to check your Internet(Public/Network) IP address:- use the site IP-Details.com .
And to change your Ip address, check your IP provided by Internet Service Provider(ISP) is static (or) dynamic. If you have dynamic IP, then change your IP address by following the steps:-
1)Clear all cookies and cache file from your browser.
2)Go to Start->Run->Cmd->Press Enter..
Type in "ipconfig/release" for Current IP address and then type "ipconfig/renew" for New IP address.
3)Either follow step 2 or Simply restart or unplug your modem/router .
If you have Static Ip address, Contact your service provider and request a IP Change.

I have a recorded message saying my IP address has been compromised and I should press 1 to get a technician to fix it. Is this a scam?

yes
if there is an IP address problem you will not be receiving any communications at all and the only people that can fix it is the service provider or server operator

How do I change my ip address? I got blocked from Wikipedia indefinetly for no reason. I need help changing my ip address.

talk to your ISP... you may need several calls to get the helpful technicial try and think of a more valid excuse for needing a new ip... you believe your getting hacked or are getting poor lag times on a game or xbox. they will try and tell you its fault but be nice and follow thier "troubleshooting tips" most likely rebooting the router, building a few calls to the call bank will help you convince the last guy you need a new ip for lag reasons and he will help you out.

Igot atex telling me my email has been hackedthey are asking me for my email idand pass wordas yahoo wants to updatethe databace and is todeleat those yahoo accounts

Don't ever give out your email address and pass words to anyone. Reputable sites such as Yahoo, AOL, MSN, etc will never ask you to reveal your passwords at any time.

This is one of the oldest scams around. People pretending to be part of Yahoo or some other place, claim your account may have been compromised and that they need your email and passwords for confirmation. Once they have your passwords, they can ruin you financially. Don't give out this information. Instead call yahoo (or whatever company was involved and tell them about your experience).

Good luck.

Overseas rentals via paypal can be a big scam. Proceed with extreme caution!

Here's a myspace profile for that email. She doesn't look like a credible person for that type of financial transaction.

How to configure Avaya's IP Phone 5610?

What IP did you give the phone? When it says discover, its looking for the call server, which it is not finding.

Which system is this on? If IP office, you may need to build an IP route in the system for that subnet.
