Guys, i need to know if there is a way i can change my IP address OR even the DNS somehow. I have a Telkom pots router, if that halps somehow.

thanks
 
Just disconnect and reconnect to the internet and u should have a new ip, thats if ur on telkom / saix, What ISP are u using?
 
External Address:
----------------
When the router logs you on to your ISP, it is given an IP Address for itself by your ISP according to teklom's rules.
When the router re-connects, it will get a new IP Address.

Internal Address:
----------------
In addition, your computer has it's own IP Address, unless you are running the router in Bridge mode. This address is supplied to your computer via a service called DHCP by the router. Or, you can hard-code what you want your computer's IP Address to be, depends on your network setup.

Now - which address are you talking about?

Ok since you mentioned Internal and External Addresses, i am not sure which one i need to change. What if i want to change BOTH of them, is this possible ?
