Ip Address change

Does anyone know how to reset/change your IP address??

I have xfinity from comcast..

I keep getting ddos'd by some noob and I would like to change it.. Pls lemme know!

Thanks

 

Do you have a Static or Dynamic IP? I'm not sure if DDos floods the internet connection or the computer. If you read the red bold sentence in the link below, you see that Internet Connect IP Addresses are assigned by ISP so you will need to contact them to change that.

Static IP; http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/25949-42-change-address-windows

Dynamic IP; Reset your Router and a new IP should be assigned.

 

how do I know if it's static or dynamic.?

 

I edited my post. Your ISP usually informs you on that, you can contact them to know or you can check to see what your IP is before resetting your router, then check after resetting to see if changed. If it didn't, you have a Static IP and would need to contact your ISP depending on if the DDos floods your computer or internet connect which I do not know.

 

Thanks for your help.. Now assume I use my dad's internet lol... If I just called up there would they change the IP.. or would he have to call..
Just a general question.

 

He would have to call as the contract is under his name, his authority is needed so all he has to do is give authority by speaking with them for a few seconds answering security questions.

 

Thanks.

 

Comcast IPs appear to be static but are actually dynamic, they just tend to assign the same IP address. Try unplugging your modem overnight

 

Yea. You could try unplugging your modem overnight, and If you know the security questions that your dad has with comcast then you can do it yourself.

 

alot of teh time conversations are recorded, id just uplug liek they said if not, then have your dad call,
