Is there any possible way to change IP's?

Okay well i just got Ip banned from Steam i believe, because all my accounts including ones that i never have hacked on or used for any other bad purpose have been disabled... So i was wondering is there anyway to permanently change your IP address?? Whats the process i have to go threw? I dont know if have static or dynamic i thought i had static but some friends of mine online said it cost EXTRA CASH to have that... and i dont think we paid extra to have a static ip so yeah...

Would i just have to call my ISP and ask them if they could change my IP address for me? Or can i change the configuration threw the gateway or my router box to obtain a new IP address in any way of form?? Well anyways if anyone could shed some light on this for me i would greatly appreciate it thanks.

 

EDIT:
O.K. here it is

How To: Change Your Ip In Less Then 1 Minute

1. Click on "Start" in the bottom left hand corner of screen
2. Click on "Run"
3. Type in "command" and hit ok

You should now be at an MSDOS prompt screen.

4. Type "ipconfig /release" just like that, and hit "enter"
5. Type "exit" and leave the prompt
6. Right-click on "Network Places" or "My Network Places" on your desktop.
7. Click on "properties"

You should now be on a screen with something titled "Local Area Connection", or something close to that, and, if you have a network hooked up, all of your other networks.

8. Right click on "Local Area Connection" and click "properties"
9. Double-click on the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" from the list under the "General" tab
10. Click on "Use the following IP address" under the "General" tab
11. Create an IP address (It doesn't matter what it is. I just type 1 and 2 until i fill the area up).
12. Press "Tab" and it should automatically fill in the "Subnet Mask" section with default numbers.
13. Hit the "Ok" button here
14. Hit the "Ok" button again

You should now be back to the "Local Area Connection" screen.

15. Right-click back on "Local Area Connection" and go to properties again.
16. Go back to the "TCP/IP" settings
17. This time, select "Obtain an IP address automatically"
18. Hit "Ok"
19. Hit "Ok" again
20. You now have a new IP address

With a little practice, you can easily get this process down to 15 seconds.

 

that will renew your IP but all the IPs in your house are similar so its not going to get you unbanned. Your IP gets renewed like that every time you log of the network.

I do like your 127.0.0.1 thing i woder how many people understand that or you can use localhost

If you were IP banned from steam, most likely, your accounts were banned too. Changing your IP wouldn't help.

 

Use a proxy to get around it.

 

if u have a static ip ur screwed if u have a dynamic ip disconect ur router , modem etc and leave it unpluged for an hour or so and then plug it back in then check ur ip at whatismyip.com and check if it was the same as ur other one NP

 

recycle kids.

 

i once needed to change my ip...but my computer got hacked =[[......

 

uhmi think it would not be good if u change ur ip
They could hack your computer with personal stuff
like Credit card etc.
then ur owned

 

My friend gave me it, I had no idea where he got it, so don't bark up my tree.

 

You obviously have no clue what you're talking about.

 

Well thanks guys i figured it out on my own. But thanks for usefull INFO anyways! >.< Well i just went to my routers page which by default is 192.168.1.1 i dont know if everyones is the same? Well anyways thanks guys and no i have a dynamic IP and i never logg off the network my router is always on so it like never changes lol.. Well alright thanks guys pecez!

 

Worked for me.

 

1. Unplug your modem/router.
2. Let it sit for 12 Hours sharp.
3. Plug it back in.

Voila, Or just use a Proxy server.

 

Im no pro on change ip but there is something to do which is going into java console and doing it from there but allso proxy but beware some proxy are phising sites but otherwize just change internet conection etc because runescape makes new ips to the computer you are using

cheers

 

Yea, call you internet provider and ask you ip to be changed, or get a new internet provider. Or buy some ip blocking software.

Those are three quick ideas.
