someoene on A.I.M. pretended that he was a internet cop and then i found out there was no such thing now i&#39;m in trouble because i told them my i number O_O HOW DO I CHANGE IT?

if you have 56k then just disconnect and then reconnect
if you have adsl or cable, it might be a bit difficult to manuaully change it depending on your isp&#39;s policy

never give out your ip though, anyone who really is an "internet cop" won&#39;t need to ask for it [/b][/quote]
wait a minute 56k of what? i dont understand anything....cable modem? yes thats what i havee...so its gonna be hard to change my ip address?

well, quite simply, check your ip address now, by the link above
then disconnect your modem (i.e. remove from port), reconnect it and then connect to internet
see if your ip has changed

also, do you have a decent firewall?

turn your modem off for 10 minutes.

you might need to wait a certain period of time (e.g. 24 hours, 72 hours for your isp to change the ip for you)
i suppose you could phone them up and ask if they could manually change it for you
