It depends on your service provider.
The first question you need answered is whether you have a static or rolling IP address.
If it is rolling, then you have a new IP assigned to you every time you log on to your internet, which is assigned by your internet service provider.
It if is a static IP address assigned by your internet service provider, you need to contact them and request for a new IP address. They will give you instructions on how to do so.

Don't listen to all these people they don't know what they are talking about.
Yes, you can change your IP. There are two kinds of IP addresses assigned Dynamic and Static.
Static IP addresses are set by the network administrator(or ISP) to a specific MAC address.
Dynamic IP addresses are pulled from a pool of IP's each time a connection found. Most always you will be assigned the same IP if you do the Ipconfig /release and /renew trick mentioned above.
The best way to loose a IP address that I know of is trick the DHCP into giving you a new IP address. You do this by changing you MAC address. This tricks the DCHP into thinking it's a new connection and it gives out a new IP address. Note this really only works on Dynamic IP's
As for Static IP's you will have to contact your ISP and have them change it. Most of the time they do this automatically over a period of 24 to 48 hours for security reasons. But they are known to change for businesses when needed.

You can use a proxy server. Basically, the proxy server serves as a middle man. Normally, when you want to view a webpage, your computer sends a request to the website. The website, in turn, uploads the webpage to your computer. The request includes your IP address. With a proxy server, your computer request is sent to the proxy server and the proxy server then forwards the request to the website. So, the IP address the website receives is that of the proxy server and not your IP address. There are many free and commercial proxy servers. Tor is a free proxy server which hides your identity (http://tor.eff.org/).

Well you can either ask your ISP to provide you with a different one and then go to your DOS window and do an IPCONFIG /release followed by an IPCONFIG /renew. This will change it. Or the second option is to subnet if you have a router. By sub-netting, you can give yourself a range of addresses to work with. However, you must know how to program your router, if capable, for sub-netting.

No theres not. If your using the same computer, the IP address will stay the same. All computers have an IP address for security reasons.

>Go to Start>Programs>Accessories, Click on Command Prompt. Type in "ipconfig /release /renew" (no quote marks and make sure there is a space before the /'s). Press Enter.
There, it just did it.<

Your ISP changes your I.P every 24 hours... mine does anyway. Unless you on a static I.P, which can only be change by the ISP.
You can call them and tell them to change your I.P

Not really. It is what your internet provider used to set up the connecton.
I am pretty sure about that.
