Change IP Address in Windows XP

One thing any Internet user should know is how to change their IP Address. This little piece of information is the first thing many sites can see about you as soon as you visit. Thankfully, unless you have a static IP Address for running your own web server, IP addresses can be easily changed.

How you change your IP address depends on how you connect to the Internet. If your computer connects directly to the Internet or you would like to change the IP address you have on your LAN, you can use the command prompt utility called ipconfig.

First open a new Command Prompt window in XP. The Command Prompt can often be found in the Programs menu under Accessories. To familiarize yourself with whats going on, type "ipconfig" (without the quotes). This shows your IP address and other stuff like your internet adapter and modem. For an extended view put in ipconfig/displaydns. This will show you more stuff that can come in handy when digging up IP's for servers at work or at school. Now, to renew (change) your IP, type "ipconfig/renew". Now you have a new IP address.

If you are a broadband Internet subscriber and have a separate stand-alone modem, the easiest way to change your IP address is to unplug the modem, wait 30 seconds to a minute, and then plug it back in. This will force the modem to go out to the ISP again and get a new IP address. Often times there will be a way to reset your IP address somewhere in the modem's options but this varies by modem brand and ISP, and can often take longer.

If you would like to check your IP address (before or after changing it), you can use a service like ShowMyIP.com



1)Change IP Address in Internet Explorer


1 Go to Internet Options under the Tools menu.
2 Click on Connections tab.
3 If you use a dial up connection, select currently active connection and click on Settings button.
4 Check the check box labeled "Use a proxy server for this connection".
5 Fill the IP address and Port number and click on OK button. (Use our proxies or get your own)
6 If you use cable or DSL, click on the LAN Settings button, and repeat step 4 and 5 for that connection.
7 Click the OK button to finish. Now feel free to surf anonymously with changed ip address.

2)Change IP Address in Firefox

1 Click on Tools and then click on Options.
2 Click on Advanced button at the top of pop up window.
3 Now choose Network tab and go to Connection settings.
4 Click on Manual proxy configuration radio button.
5 Now set the HTTP Proxy and Port Number. (Feel free to use these)
6 Click on OK button. Now you can access the Internet with a changed ip address.

3)Change Your IP Address in Mac's Safari

1 Go to Edit and click on Preferences.
2 Click on Advanced button.
3 Click on Change Settings button which is just next to label "Proxies".
4 For dial up connections, select the Internet connection for which you want to change your ip address.
5 Click on settings.
6 Click on the check box labeled "Use a proxy for this connection" and enter proxy port and ip 7 address in text boxes.
8 Click on OK button to change your ip address with anonymous proxy ip address.
9 For LAN Connections, you need to click on "LAN Settings" Button after step 3, and enter a nonymous proxy ip and port as in ster 6 and 7.

4) Change ip on opera

Just enable opera turbo to change ip address
Enabling ‘Turbo Mode’ in Opera is a piece-of-cake. Go to Tools > Quick Preferences and click Enable
