[GENERAL] My IP hasn't changed in 3 years...

[Helx]

Hi,

My (as the title said) IP address has been static for the last 3 or so years.
If you have access to the Moderator logs, you'll notice this quite clearly...

I know that my ISP hasn't set it to static, because Telecom hates servers being hosted on their already horrible network (and it used to be dynamic).

I have tried turning it on and off again (with several minutes between turning back on), and I have tried the ipconfig/release thing from the command line.

Please help me, this is becoming a large problem quickly.

Have you tried complaining with you ISP?

Why is it an issue?

If you give your ISP a call monday morning they will probably be able to assist you with this. I had a similar problem where the static IP I was given had been used for malicious activity, and I suddenly got my accounts banned. I just gave them one quick call and they released a new IP in less than 15 minutes.

My router has a button to request a new IP, look for that ?

I called them today, and... Well now I'm with a different ISP
They said I should have a new IP in one week or less.

Thanks for your help.

EDIT: Oh wow, it came much earlier

Changing an IP takes literally three seconds or less for an ISP employee.

" Klick ", done.

I hope this solved your problems
