In this tutorial I will explain the basic steps to change the IP of the computer tou are using to browse the internet. This can have many advantages (eg: Download more files on file hosting sites that only allow 1 IP to download an x number of MB per hour; like Rapidshare). This will only work if you have got a dynamic IP. Most of the people who have got a wirelless connection using a router are able to do this. This tutorial can be used on all operating systems. I’m going to explain it in particulair for Windows XP and Vista.

Here below you can find the steps that you will need to follow in order to change your IP:

1 Go to command prompt:
Windows XP: Start => Execute => Write down “cmd” and press enter
Windows Vista: Start=>In the fiels where you can search for applications write down “cmd” and press enter
After you have done this all the steps remain the same (both for XP and Vista)

2 Write the following commands:

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew
exit

This method only works when yur ISP allows you to have a dynamic IP.
