Mac how to change IP address?

Mac how to change IP addressMac how to change IP address?
Mac vs. PC is irrelevant. Depends on how you connect to the internet. If your ISP has dynamic IP assignment, just disconnect, and then reconnect (turn off your DSL/cable modem, wait a bit, then switch it back on). Then check to see if your IP has changed (try http://www.whatismyip.com/ ). You may have to try this more than once (there is a chance that you will be reassigned the same IP address that you just gave up).



If you have a static IP address, then you will have to contact your ISP and ask for a new IP address. In this case, it is probably easier to use a proxy.

If you just need to access some websites temporarily by using a different IP address then you may do it by using proxies. You can find 100's of web proxy sites at http://www.unblocking.biz or you may use the one i use http://www.freeproxy.co.in



If in case you are looking further for changing your IP permanently and not temporary, if you have a dynamic IP you may just change it by restarting your modem or router but there's no way to get it changed if its a static Ip
