IP address change

[tomtaylor200]

I used to be able to change my ip address (virgin media) using the method found on this page:
http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/94/33602406-how-to-change-your-ip-address.html

But this does not seem to work anymore and i am stuck with the same ip

Any help would be gladly appreciated

Thank you

Change the MAC address on your router and reboot your modem and router.

I've done it a few times already today trying to get an IP cam working.

May I ask what router you are using?

I don't seem to be able to do this on my router (Philips SNB5600)

Also, I thought to be able to change the ip adress you would have to connect directly to the modem instead of the router.

Thanks for your advice Reedy

You could always just use something like TMAC.

Technitium MAC Address Changer allows you to change Media Access Control (MAC) Address of your Network Interface Card (NIC) irrespective to your NIC manufacturer or its driver. It has a very simple user interface and provides ample information regarding each NIC in the machine. Every NIC has a MAC address hard coded in its circuit by the manufacturer. This hard coded MAC address is used by windows drivers to access Ethernet Network (LAN). This tool can set a new MAC address to your NIC, bypassing the original hard coded MAC address. Technitium MAC Address Changer is a must tool in every security professionals tool box.

Which in turn will change your IP.

thanks a lot for that very quick reply Wayfair.

I will try it out and let you know the results.

I have never had any issues with it, little tip though, when you press the change mac button, input your current mac and only change the last digit.

[Reedy]

In the clone mac address (page 10 of the manual), change the MAC by 1 digit and reboot everything.

Do NOT change you mac more than 4 times or you'll be locked out. apparently.

Thank you very VERY much Reedy. That method worked.

Just one thing though; are you saying I can only do this 4 times.

I looked for this part in the philips router guide but couldn't find it.

[Reedy]

Something to do with VM only allowing you to do it 4 times .. I remember a long time ago getting barred until the following day for doing it too many times.

I don't know if it's still 4 times, I'm not going to test it out again.

[tomtaylor200]

Is it? I've already done it three times today.

I better calm down then.

Thanks for all the help Reedy.

I was trying to get my IP Camera working, but I forgot the port forwarding and decided for some unknown reason the IP address was the problem, But I was VERY hungover!
