Hi guys, any suggestion of changing my IP address in Win2K the easiest and safest way? My IP was abused by someone in IRC and therefore I had my IP banned in some of my fave channels. Begging the OPs to unban me wouldn't do any good because they claimed that I have been 'messing around' in the channel. As far as I know I never mess around because I seldom log in. During my hiatus 2 weeks ago, someone had used my nick and the result is my IP is banned. I wish to get back in the channels and is the idea of changing my IP in Win2K helps? Please advice.

Abused :(

Are you on a LAN connection, cable od Dial-up.

If it is a LAN connectino then IRC only sees one IP address, so it could be abyibe ib your LAN (unless the admin is publishing seperate IP's for each nic, which I doubt) If it is cable/dsl you can release and renew. If that doesn't work, you will have to contact your ISP. Almost all dial-up connections assign a new ip number every time you connect to the network

Thanks for the reply,
Just to let you know that my connection is a LAN. So no other options about changing IP's?

Change all of your usernames in mirc
