Yeah but we can't figure out how to to get it correct.
What is an IP?
An IP is your computer address. If someone finds you IP they will know what city, state, ect... you live in. They will not be able to know right were you live though for that is illegal.
Some people like to have their IP different from were they live for safty reasons.
If you could help us out to figuring out how to change your IP that would be great!

Here is a tutorial:
I've tried this on both Windows XP and Windows 2000, and it has worked:[/B]
1. Click on "Start" in the bottom left hand corner of screen 2. Click on "Run" 3. Type in "command" and hit ok
You should now be at an MSDOS prompt screen.
4. Type "ipconfig /release" just like that, and hit "enter" 5. Type "exit" and leave the prompt 6. Right-click on "Network Places" or "My Network Places" on your desktop. 7. Click on "properties"
You should now be on a screen with something titled "Local Area Connection", or something close to that, and, if you have a network hooked up, all of your other networks.
8. Right click on "Local Area Connection" and click "properties" 9. Double-click on the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" from the list under the "General" tab 10. Click on "Use the following IP address" under the "General" tab 11. Create an IP address (It doesn't matter what it is. I just type 1 and 2 until i fill the area up). 12. Press "Tab" and it should automatically fill in the "Subnet Mask" section with default numbers. 13. Hit the "Ok" button here 14. Hit the "Ok" button again
You should now be back to the "Local Area Connection" screen.[/B] 15. Right-click back on "Local Area Connection" and go to properties again. 16. Go back to the "TCP/IP" settings 17. This time, select "Obtain an IP address automatically" 18. Hit "Ok" 19. Hit "Ok" again 20. You now have a new IP address
With a little practice, you can easily get this process down to 15 seconds.
P.S: This only changes your dynamic IP address, not your ISP/IP address.

No, if you do, ull rune the whole internet data base, aka dont try or even turn it off when doing this.
Here is what happens if you do: The internet if still using the same ip when off, makin the pc trying to convert to that ip, but will (or should fail) to do it, making you with out internet, and if you share the internet with someone like neigbors or family members, everyone will loose the connection. So dont try it unless you want to spend $180 on new equitment.

OK, thanks for the advice. I'll just keep the Internet on and do it. If I runed our Internet I would never be allowed on the computer again.
