My friend just calls cableone and they'll change it for him, but to
me they say they don't know how =/ I got IP banned from a site and
I need back in. I've tried unplugging the modem and replugging it,
but no dice. Any help is greatly appreciated.
If you got banned - it will likely happen again.
Start -> Run
CMD /K IPCONFIG /ALL
Look for "Lease Obtained" and "Lease Expired" and figure out how long a
lease lasts.
(This assumes you plug your computer directly into your Cable/DSL Modem and
not through a router.)
(If through a router - use the web interface of your router to see how long
the lease is good for.)
Once you know the lease timeout for your ISP - unplug your Internet
(Cable/DSL Modem) from POWER for that length of time + an hour. That will
fully release your information from their DHCP server and chances are better
you will get a different IP address from them.
