Re: how do i change my ip address ?
if your on a VM cable connection you could try un-plugging your modem for 30 mins and you may be given a new IP address.
I remember reading somewhere that if you connect the modem via USB and then change it back to Ethernet that will issue you a new IP too !

Re: how do i change my ip address ?
oooooo not a good idea discussing this on here cause its the same method cable forum use to stop people getting multiple accounts and to ban members

Re: how do i change my ip address ?
well if this breaks forum rules then the mods can remove my post.
IP addresses change ever so often anyways as the ip's are dynamic unless you are on a business connection.
Mods - if i broke the rules then please delete my post.

Extremely unlikely to work, but still gets suggested from time to time for some reason. About as useful as homeopathy.

No, as the proxies work on the http ports only and not the ports required for P2P

Do you have a router or do you plug in to the modem directly? |
