I am on NTL Broadband, and i wanna know how i am supposed to renew my ip address. Does turning the modem on and off renew it?,

If you have a static IP, like most NTL users, then your IP will change each time your modem are switch on.

HTH

ipconfig -release
ipconfig -renew

you may get the same ip back though :)

As per Skanking said but if you do the release command and wait a little while, (give enough time for someone else to log in) and then renew or log back in and it should pick up a different one.

yeah you have to use the cmd command first- if you're on xp

type cmd in the run bar on the start menu

then type "ipconfig/release"
your ip adress shoudl then become 0.0.0.0

then typing "ipconfig/renew" should renew it

on win98 you have to type winipcfg in the run bar and do it from there

i find that switching the modem off and on also does this- i think if it had a rest button then that would also do the trick but my modem doesn't!!

Thanks guys,

My modem dont have a reset button neither, I have to unplug it or remove the power lead, I just like to renew the ip now and again, for security reasons. Then again I leave my modem on for days sometimes.
