Hi

My internet connection is with static ip. Even if I plug-out, plug-in the modem I get the same ip.


Usually I use the command
Code:
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 start
which runs dhcp client and I get the ip.

Now, if I try
Code:
ipconfig eth0 other-ip
I can't browse the internet.

I saw a technique to change the i, but that's for windows. How can I do it in linux?
Here is how they suggest to change it on windows:
Quote:

1. Open up the command prompt by pressing Start->Run and typing in cmd

2. In the command prompt, type “Ipconfig/all”. This will tell you your current IP Address. After, type “ipconfig/release”. Keep the command prompt open for easy access.

3. Go to “Network Connections” (accessible through the control panel). Right click “Local Area Connection” and click “Properties”

4. With “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) selected, click the “Properties” button.

5. A new window will open. Under the “General” tab, select “Use the Following IP address”. Under “Ip Address”, put “10.0.0.1″. Press the “Tab” key on your keyboard.

6. Press Ok on both open windows.

7. Repeat steps 3-4. Under the “General” tab, press the radio button “Automatically Assign Me an Ip Address”. Press ok on both windows.

8. Go back to the command prompt and type in “Ipconfig/all”. You’ll now notice you have a new IP address.


I tried proxy changer extension in firefox, but at www.whatismyip.com the same ip appears.

Any idea will be welcome.

Well, if that's the case, you've got a static IP from your ISP, so there's not much you can do about it - besides complaining or changing your ISP.
