djet Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Well I know there's software on Windows to change my IP address, but does anyone know of any for Mac to change it? I got an IP ban on a server that I'm using (no real reason for it....) and I wanna see if I can get around it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(MoC) Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 You need to change your WAN IP. To do this you usually have to unplug your cable box or whatever for about 10 minutes. Solution 2; proxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djet Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Hmmm.... I unplugged my little DSL router all night last night..... oh well Wait are you talking about the actual cable box like outside the house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(MoC) Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Hmmm.... I unplugged my little DSL router all night last night..... oh well Wait are you talking about the actual cable box like outside the house? Indoor router. But if you can do something to the cable box outside then kudos! If I'm correct your setup is like it's shown below.

~pcwiz Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 If you have a dynamic IP then it should change every day/few days, but if you have a static IP (an IP that does not change) then like MoC says, unplug your modem and router both for a long time, plug them back in (modem first then router) and it should automatically get a new IP address. The easier solution is to use a web proxy (changes your IP). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djet Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 Tried using a proxy by doing the stuff in system prefs, but when I went to sites that display your IP it was the same as before.... Note to self.... click the apply button Now I just gotta find a working proxy server So far none of them have worked. All I get is a connecting attempt..... I did accidentally use Rice universities but I had to have a login for that and I don't really wanna steal their internet lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(MoC) Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 For less hassle change the proxies directly in Safari or Firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djet Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 Can't change em directly in safari.... Okay I got one to work through firefox but I can't get it directly through system prefs.... which is what I need.... (I'm trying to connect to a WoW priv server that I got a ban on.....) Any ideas?

djet Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 Ah okay Well it's a temp ban but I just wanted to try it to see if I could..... Wish there was a way that I could just log into my ISP and change my static IP.... oh well. Thanks a bunch for the help guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Its not likely, but maybe if you contacted your ISP and asked them to reset your IP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djet Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 I'll check my ISP site to double check if I got static. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(MoC) Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I'll check my ISP site to double check if I got static. Just call tech support and tell them to reset your IP address. They'll do it with some bitching Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djet Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 They should stop helping their children and work later....... Closed atm >.> I love it when you are on the phone with a tech support and he is acting like you're retarded and you're about 10 steps ahead of him...... I think I know how to log into DSL.... username and password.... Instead of asking how I'm doing they should ask if I'm a n00b or a computer savvy person....

djet Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 Sorry to double post. Okay well I called them and they are going to do it.... within the next 3 days.... w/e. Seemed very easy to get it done though. Didn't even ask why I needed it done. Now to find out why the heck I have a static IP.... don't really have a use for it.

~pcwiz Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Other than for bypassing bans () a static IP is actually quite useful, especially when it comes to using your computer as a server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
