If you have a router, you might try using the settings in that configuration to force a /Release, /Renew cycle - usually ineffective. This is the correct concept, but it only goes as far as your LAN side router assignments -Īnd will not address the WAN side public assignment.įor those attempting to fight with an ADMIN from the ISP on a banning restriction, it's the WAN address that gets restricted not the LAN address. Then nothing on your system will give you a knob to tweek the WAN side address. You may actually see the WAN side address.Īs (1) belongs to the ISP, and if you have not purchase a domain-name (which has a unique public ip address),

If you use certain Modems w/o the router feature (most frequently ADSL users), then The (1) WAN side belongs to your ISP and there DHCP service will make the assignments just like (A) above.įrequently the WAN address is not directly visible so we revert to something like to find it. (2) above are called the non-routing, private addresses and are onlyĪnd you control what the LAN side settings will be egro you can change them easily. If your modem has a builtin router, then your LAN address is also private but with only one physical port, you get only one system attached (ignoring WiFi for the moment). (A) the subnet mask, dns addresses and makes the Gateway address that of the Router's lan address.
