Why can I not connect to internet after changing my IP Address?

Hello. I have a windows Vista. I recently was banned off of gamebattles, along with my IP Address. I attempted to change my IP through the network and sharing center, protocol 4, and manually changing my IP and DNS settings. But afterward, my internet connection was Local only. Does anyone know how to solve this? If not, can anyone help me in the case of joining teams on a proxy for gamebattles wtihout getting the response (Please Provide Your XBL Gamertag)|||IP address (or public IP address) usually is assigned automatically by DHCP server of your ISP. This is out of your control.





If your computer is behind a router, it will pick up a private IP address (i.e. 192.168.0.157), while externally it uses a public IP address (i.e.119.82.44.190). It is likely that your public IP is banned from that game service. Change your private IP address is no use.





There are many methods to ban others, they can banned by IP address, Cookies, Unique Token, Common Information and Multiple Options.





Suppose, it is banned by IP address, you can do the step below.





1) Clear your Cookies.


2) Turn off your modem (and router if you also use it) for 10 to 15 seconds and restart it. And DHCP server of your ISP will likely re-new your computer with a new IP address. And then, the problem is solved.





If it is banned by other methods, visit http://webipaddress.net/resources/i-have鈥?/a> for more solutions.|||Your public IP, the one that is banned, is assigned to you by your ISP. You CANNOT change that, else your ISP will not recognize you as their customer, and cut off internet access. Only by using your ISP%26#039;s assigned IP address, are you allowed to connect to their network. Your ISP is in control of that IP, you are not....





Some web sites can detect proxy use, and ban you based on that alone....|||You could try releasing the IP from your router (or PC if you don%26#039;t use a router). Release it before going to bed or work and hopefully someone else will pick it up. Then once you renew your IP later on you%26#039;ll get a new one.|||Change your internal IP all you want, it wont matter. People dont see you with the IP you see...such as 192.168.1.100 or whatever. The IP the world sees you with is your external IP which is handled by your ISP. So changing your internal IP does NOTHING!!! As for DNS, that doesnt matter either.





Overall, you%26#039;re kinda outta luck unless you change providers.
