How can refresh my I.P address? if at all? I've hit one of those"You've used up all your time today" snags on a flash site and they tally this by I.P so wondering if I can find a way around it.Any ideas?
It depends on what kind of internet connection you have - if it's a standard DSL from sympatico or anyone who leases the Bell lines, then turning off your modem for about a minute and then turning it back on will probably result in you being issued a new IP address. I don't know about cable service.
Change your MAC address on the device that is connected to the internet (router or computer) if it is not log in based. It will re-assign a IP for you. Google for tools on changing MAC address on your computer (either via wireless or ethernet) or sometimes you can do it by just going to the driver - and advance properties (esp. on Intel hardware).
If you are using cable modem / dsl - then you are SOL, but then your question wouldn't make sense anyway.
