Solve : Changing My IP Address? |
|
Answer» Quote from: Geek-9pm on July 28, 2010, 07:27:03 PM Well why is he wasting our efforts. Cox has published a suitable answer to the question. On other forums thins issue has come up and the general repose is something like this: The funny part is he actually referenced the "whatismyIP" sites instructions which stated exactly this, in no uncertain terms.No, have not contacted cox because I figured it would be a run around. I guess I will and get back to you then.OK...I just called up COX...you tell me if this sounds like BS or what. On whatismyip.com....it reads that my IP is: 68.98.137.201 on my command prompt it reads my IP is: 192.168.1.102 Cox says the difference is DUE to one reading the external or something? They also say the 68.98.137.201 IP addresses is changed every 24 hours automatically by the COX DHCP server. They claim that were this not the case I likely would NOT be able to connect to the internet. They also claim if this is not changing then it is an issue with the router (linksys). So basically...I do not get it. I have a dynamic connection...with a CABLE company. When it was Comcast I could change my IP myself...with Cox I can't and am still banned from sites. UPDATE: Spoke to another person...who said the difference is with Comcast my PC was connected through hardwire NOT wireless. He claimed if I disconnect the wireless, reset the hardwire modem, connect through hardwire, then follow whatismp directions...I will be able to change it. Make sense?Quote on my command prompt it reads my IP is: 192.168.1.102 That's your routers address...not your IP address...Quote from: patio on August 30, 2010, 06:41:12 AM That's your routers address...not your IP address... and that's the reason you're not seeing your "IP" change, if that's what you've been thinking is your real IP all this time. Router IP won't change if you don't change any settings or switch any ports.Well what we actually have here is someone who may not understand the inner workings of networking and could easily mistake the 2.... That being said i'd still like to know why he needs to change his IP addy so often...HMM this topic is very popular with over 1000 veiws....i didnt know that changing an ip address took so much effort Quote from: johngetter on September 02, 2010, 02:34:06 PM hmm this topic is very popular with over 1000 veiws....i didnt know that changing an ip address took so much effort I think people were just interested with IP addresses???Quote from: 2x3i5x on August 30, 2010, 10:23:12 AM and that's the reason you're not seeing your "IP" change, if that's what you've been thinking is your real IP all this time.Yes....I know if you go cmd>>>>>run>>>>ipconfig.........the 192. shows BUT if I go to what is my IP....I still even after running the steps get the same IP address: 68.98.137.201. COX said it should change automatically every 24 hours...but 4 days later the address still is the same. What is going on?I decided to do the following 1) Disconnect the router 2) Reset the modem 3) Connect directly to the modem WHALALA! I got a new external IP address BUT When I connected BACK to the router...I was given the previous old external IP address? 1) Why? 2) What can I do?Quote from: bluecountry on September 02, 2010, 11:20:47 PM I decided to do the following so are you saying the router changes your computer back to the old IP address for which you have a mistakened ban on???YES!Ths Topic is 10 years old... Quote from: patio on January 14, 2020, 06:00:17 AM Ths Topic is 10 years old...OP replied last YEAR! Does it qualify for oldest updated thread award? Not yet... |
