This does not grant new IP from the ISP. This is to renew the IP address assigned by the ISP. If the ISP's issued lease time expires while you are renewing the IP then you will be issued with new IP address. But the usual lease time is about 3-4 weeks.

If the above method provides newer IP address each time this is performed, perhaps you should ask your ISP why the IP address rotates so much...

I agree with BuffaloHELP, this only flushes DNS cache, then renews IP address... For example, I'm on ADSL, and my IP has been the same for month and a half, with all the renewals I would attempt... It is also accesible from Network Status window, open Network connections, Right click on LAN or whatever connection you're using, right click, and select Status, and on the Support tab, you have Repair button... That essentialy renews your IP, if there has been a change in IP addresses...

Now, I haven't tried this with dial-up connections, but perhaps, since dial-up IP lease is probably significantly lower than on broadband, perhaps renewing IP address in dial-up, yields a new IP from ISP..

Worth chechking...

I Agree too i did the instructions and it didnt seem to change my IP Address!

It does change your ip in a way. Your actual isp ip address is alot different then that of what your router throws out. You cant change your isp ip unless you call them. When you change it in windows its like having a forward ip address and its really just an ip that really links to your original isp ip. Just like you can never change your default gateway ip with a router unless you bring up a forwarder to change it to return back to the default gateway ip or dns address.

Dial up gives you a new IP everytime you make a new dial up connection
