HOW TO CHANGE YOUR IP ADDRESS
(I think this can be used to remove an IP ban.)
There are multiple ways of changing IP, if one doesn't work just try another.
(These methods won't change static IP, they only change dynamic.)
To check your IP address go to this website ((you need an account to see links))
You should check before you try to change it so you can know if it changed.
Method A:
Unplug or turn off your modem and leave it overnight. This should change your IP address if this fails you can try one of
the other methods. (The amount of time this takes varies, for some people it will change instantly!)
Method B:
1: Go to: start menu > all programs > accessories > notepad, then copy and paste this into notepad
"@echo off
title IP Changer
color 0a
echo 0% Complete
ipconfig /release
cls
echo 33% Complete!
ipconfig /flushdns
echo 66% Complete!
ipconfig /renew
cls
echo 100% Complete!
echo.
pause"
(Remove the quotations)
2: Then save your file as .bat like shown in the screenshot below.
(you need an account to see links)
3: Now close notepad and locate where you saved the file.
4: Run the file and it should do this.

5: When it says "100 Complete! Press any key to continue..." Just press any key.

6: Now turn off your modem and shutdown your computer. When you have done this turn them both back on and your IP should be
changed!
Method C:
1: Connect your computer directly to your modem.
2: Now go to: start menu > all programs > accessories > command prompt
3: Now enter in the command prompt: "ipconfig /release" (Without quotations)
4: Wait a minute or until your internet disconnects
5: Now enter in the command prompt: "ipconfig /renew" (Without quotations)
