dude if your with telstra, they generally change everytime your router re-connects.
your can pay $10.00 per month to have the same ip if you want thou

Sorry Bagaled but how will a new IP fix your problem?

Also you should be able to release your external IP lease via the router administration pages.  Couldn't find your older on the netgear website but found other models the just had a release button on the external connection page.

I want to get a residential voip package from engin, but I spoke to them about business packages first. I came back to their live chat about 5 hours later, and I got routed to the same live chat guy and he pretty much picked up where I left off 5 hours previously, and told me I couldn't get a residential package because I was a business.
So I figure they have logged my IP, so if I can get a new IP I can start fresh and just get a residential package, which costs half as much.
Just got off the phone to telstra and they told me they couldn't change it, and suggested I turn off the router for 24 hours and that might work. I've read about cloning MAC addresses but I don't think my router has the functionality.

yeah turn off your router and leave it off... the lease needs to expire i'd leave it off for longer than 24 if possible. Even then you may end up with the samw ip.

I also think that while you have changed your IP address you should consider the benefit of wearing a zoro costume to mask your true identity.

That sounds awesome - but I get lazy and plug in my iPhone as a modem / router and use that when I want to change my telstra IP at my home. Do you have another network device that can bridge a link ?
