hello everyone. i live in the australia, and i have a broadband connection. i want to know, is it possible to change my IP address to reflect that i am in another country? like canada, for example. i'm under attack from a vicious software program, and i'm trying to deflect it. i think i must have give away too much personal information in an internet chat room.

Your IP address is likely not the problem. Besides, most people do not have a dedicated one. More likely you have security issues. Uninstall Spyware Programs. Update Windows if you haven't already. Antivirus-Run a full Scan. Antispyware-Run a full scan. Adjust IE security. Firewall? Really need a whole lot more info. What IM? What attack? What security do you have? Would really like to help but need more info.

to change IP address use such program as Proxy Switcher.

I could be wrong but what first popped into my mind was someone having been banned from a chat room - is trying to get back in. Before you go to bed release your IP, turn off & unplug your modem & the computer. When you get up in the morning turn everything back on & renew your IP, you should get a new one assigned - provided you do not have a static IP. Good luck!

Somebody banned my IP to a certain program so there for i cant get on in any other computer in my house. I have a Linksys Router, and using XP. Is there any way i can change my IP so i can get back in the room?? i would appreciate any help! thank you
