Answer 1

You talking the outside IP address or the inside IP address? The outside will be something set by your DSL provider... if you haven't paid for a fixed IP address this may change if you shut your router down for over the lease-time of the IP address... that may be 24 hours or longer.

The inside addresses will probably be 192.160.somthing and they are under your control... you can change them by changing the configuration.

If your router has a firewall, you can add a rule to drop everything from the specific IP address / range that is causing you grief.

Answer 2

no the ip address you are using it is a difoult from your service provider.
