IP address change?

[pacinitaly]

I thought my IP address changed on every boot, I have a router/modem and thought it kept changing.

Is there a way to change the IP address?
when I log into gmail it shows the last 5days of logging in--all the same IP address.

Here's a link to a Vista help on the subject: Change TCP/IP settings - Windows Vista Help.

My computer's IP address changes if I reboot my wired cable modem.

I think your IP is Dynamic but it will only change when you reset or reboot your router and/or cable modem.

usually providers will issue you a time slot for your IP address. It wont change everytime you turn it off and on it goes by its time slot. To change it you could run ipconfig /release and then ipconfig /renew from the command prompt. some versions of vista are known to have some issues with that command though give it a whirl and see what happens

I still have the same IP address...
nothing to hide but...

Good call pacinitaly... if you're not worried about "getting caught" for anything, you should be good.

Nice! The Windows blog is a pretty good resource because it actually pulls all those other assets together (the security blog, experience blog, mobile blog (now as well).
