[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 58943, post: 706994"] You don't have statics so your ISP just drops you in whatever scope has free leases prioritized by the most open scope. You could in theory force the lease time to expire and assign yourself a new IP. Unplug your cable modem from the power, unplug the coax from the cable modem and go to bed. Wake up in the morning and plug everything back in and your lease should have expired and you'll gave a new IP. In theory, yes there is a way to get the other one back - purchase statics. But for a home user statics would largely be useless. [/QUOTE]
