Change external IP??

Guys i need to change my external ip...i have tried ipconfig commands but of no use...its DHCP assigned so it is impossible to change except personally calling ISP and requesting a new ip....so anyone here knows any workarounds???

PS- Need to bypass rapidshare limit...i don't know why it stating "i need a rapidpro for more files to download"???i used to download a lot before...

Restart your modem/router.

My Modem/Router has the option to renew IP address so may be yours have too. Otherwise set the ip lease time to 20 mins and/or restart your modem.

if its DHCP assigned then on each login session u will get dynamic IP if that IP is used for another machine.

May be web proxies or proxy servers can help you in this.

Dude I am talking about external ip address, the one which starts with 117.*.*.* for me.
Have you tried decreasing your IP lease time & then restarting your modem.

but my router doesn't have an option to renew my ip address or change lease time...my current ip lease time is of a month...

As far as I know, the sites like rapidshare take your IP in the format 123.456.789.*** in their memory banks. So, even if you refresh your IP addresses, the change occurs in the *** part. Most probably, RS.com will not be able to differentiate between them.

Nope, they take in account your actual and full ip.

@Roque decrease your lease time to 60 mins.
