IP Addressing

[blueorder]

I have been attempting to get a new IP address, but have been unsuccessful so far. I am a novice, I spoke to Cox and they suggested I unplug my router for a series of hours up to a full 24. I did the fully 24 and still have the same IP. Is there a way to so do that I am not aware of? 

Thank you

You can try changing the router's MAC address.  This works for some but not all ISPs.

Thank you TheEther. I know how to get into the router settings, but can you explain how I actually attempt to change the MAC?

You will find it in the Internet settings on the router.  The setting is called Router MAC Address.

Thank you, that actually did the trick. 🙂
