Not really, for 2 reasons.

ONE--- Your ISP controls the assigning of IP address. If your IP is not a static one then you would need to logout and then back in again to get a new IP. Of course if it is static your out of luck anyway.


TWO---changing the IP in most operating systems means rebooting the computer.


You could switch proxies (if your using a proxy) while connected to the internet, but this only appears to change your IP to a 3rd party, it dosen't change your real IP.


Hope this helps :)

Well, you can only change your IP address by logging out and then by logging back in again. Since the ISP controls which IP addresses are usable on their network you can only change it by having the ISP assign a new one when you relogin. (which is why static IP addresses won't work since they are never reassigned)

Using a proxy is the only way you can change how your IP appears to a third party you connect to. However,your real IP can't be changed by using a proxy and anyone connnecting to you must use your real IP. There are lots of list of free proxies, doing a Google lookup of "free proxies" will take you to them. These lists aren't always up to date, so it might take some time to find a working proxy to use.

There are also anonymous web surfing services that you can buy into that help you surf the web anonymously. ( they hide your real IP by using their own proxies to let you surf the net.)

Does this help explain it to you? If not post back what your try to accomplish by changing your IP.


Good Luck :)
