    Sigh... Let me say this one more time:

    When you turn off your router or use ipconfig to change your IP address, that changes your LOCAL IP address. You have two types of IP addresses, one is local and the other is global (I'm not sure if that's the correct term). Only computers on your network use your local IP address. Your local IP address uniquely identifies each computer ON YOUR NETWORK. However, once you connect to servers on the internet, the servers send information to a GLOBAL IP address, which is essentially the IP address of your router. Then the router forwards the information to the correct computer using the local IP address it assigns to your computer.

    Your global IP address will not change unless you request it from your ISP (I think).

    It all depends on your ISP. Most people have a dynamic IP address, meaning that it doesn't always stay the same. You just kinda have to fiddle around with different things and hope that it results in an IP change from your ISP.

    Here's some info on the topic:
    http://whatismyipaddress.com/staticpage ... ip-address

    It appears that turning off your router and stuff MAY result in an IP change.
    When you are looking for an IP address change, you do NOT look at the IP address "192.168.1.XXX". That is your local IP address. Check here for your global IP: http://whatismyipaddress.com/

    In my linksys router:

    Put

    192.168.1.1 into your address bar, use your manufacturer's password to log in - it's usually either blank or admin. This can be changed.

    From there I go to Status, disconnect from the internet... then reconnect. IP changes a tad.

    I do not know if that's enough to satisfy an IP ban, however.

    I guess a bored person can click it enough times to get a very different IP.

    192.168.x.x is a LAN IP, not an ISP IP... Go to 192.168.1.1 (in IE) to check your real IP :)

    if you have a dynamic IP that is fine.. every time you logoff or disconnect your net your IP address change.. but if you have static IP even if you logoff or disconnect you have same IP address

    I think I have a dynamic IP... but so I'm not affected by IP bans? :|

    ...so to avoid chain freezing the only thing I have to pay attention is to not log in different accounts in the same session of my router?

    Pretty much.
    If a simple reset of your modem, unplug your modem/router for around 40 minutes and refresh your DHCP.
    I've got like a semi-static IP, and that's what I've got to do.

    I've heard Neopets tracks accounts with cookies, although I fail to see how that works.
    Nonetheless, I always delete cookies now. Hope it does something. :zzz:
