    Come on adam, of all people, shouldn't you be able to change your IP?
    Turn off your router before you go to bed, wake up, turn it back on and voila!
    A memory wipe shouldn't change your IP.

    Yeah your ip is based on your router/modem, so a computer wipe shouldn't help at all.
    If you're looking for a quicker solution than turning your router off all night, check out the guide in my sig.
    You can also try contacting your isp and asking them to change it, but their not always willing/able to do it.

    Ive tried almost everything, even gone onto http//:192.168.1.2 and changed my freekin MAC address... Its quite annoying.. ive left my router off for an hour, but not overnight... I guess Ill try that tonight.. But do i have to turn off the router and the computer its attached to? or just the router?
