Evidence Eliminator Is A Bad Idea

I'm currently using NTL as my ISP, and sometimes, unplugging the modem for 2 mins will usually change the IP Address. This method includes STB's (Set Top Boxes) as well. If this fails, there is another method...

Yes it should work. As long as you disconnect the modem from the mains, give it 2-3 mins, then switch it back on and give it time to get a signal, it should work. If not, try the PDF document I posted above.

This may sound funny, but I don't know what my modem is . I got a Linksys Wireless Network Access Point Model Wap11 and a Netgear DSL Modem Internet Gateway DG814. Are any of these the modem?

Just unplug them from the mains

Both of them

you could also check what your current ip no. is and then check afterwards to see if its changed.

I put a post on a forum, they told me that I have to ask the ISP to change my ip, i am on adsl. However, i need a reason for a change, can someone tell me a good reason to give an ISP to change my ip?

Say that - a friend or you have a different laptop - but cant connect to the internet -(mummmble something about need to change the ip-if he tells you the to write in the ip(yours) tell him it doesnt work - he'll change it for you
also ask him if the ip will change if you unplug the modems

I change ip no like 3 times a day cause i share the adsl with roomies which have three different laptops - sometimes it dont work so i harras the isp. (we all have our internet protocol set to automatic detection cause we move around to different connections

I'm gonna email them, could you like write down what to say, I know i'll fuck up the message, I can then just copy and paste into the email.

Right

and
99shassan - seriously dont be afraid of your isp
1. you pay them - they therefore serve you
2.the people working the phone support dont give a shit cause they are dealing with simpler problems than yours. like where to put the lan cable.

so you will never be making a mistake.
