If that doesn&#8217;t fix your problem, you may want to set a static IP address instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Changing your IP address is a simple fix for a number of networking issues. However, there\u2019s more than one way to cook that particular egg. So let\u2019s go over your options for getting a new IP address, and why you\u2019d choose one over the other.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Would_You_Want_to_Change_Your_IP_Address\"><\/span>Why Would You Want to Change Your IP Address?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Your\u00a0IP address is a set of numbers that works both as a way to locate you in the real world as well as serves as your digital address. When you connect to the internet, for example, your internet service provider or ISP will assign you an IP that will reveal to the sites you visit where you\u2019re connecting from\u2014it\u2019s why sites will usually change language when you\u2019re accessing them from abroad.<\/p>\n<p>Changing your network IP will make you <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ear like you\u2019re somewhere else, great for circumventing censorship blocks or even changing your Netflix library to that of another country. However, that\u2019s not possible without using outside help, so to speak. You\u2019ll usually have to use a third-party program to alter your IP that way, and it only works while that program is active.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few ways to temporarily change your IP like this, we discuss them at length in our article on how to hide your IP address. In most cases, your best bet is to use a virtual private network (VPN) to fake your IP and thus make it appear that you\u2019re somewhere else. It\u2019s pretty cool, and easy to do.<\/p>\n<p>However, it\u2019s not just your internet connection that broadcasts an IP address: each device you own also has its own, unique IP. This is so each device can properly communicate with both the network and each other.<\/p>\n<p>If there\u2019s a problem with your network\u2019s IP or that of a specific device, they may not connect properly or have some other issues. A VPN won\u2019t fix these problems, at least not for the long-term; the only way to get rid of these issues is to permanently change your IP address. Luckily, this isn\u2019t that hard to do.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Change_Your_IP_Address\"><\/span>How to Change Your IP Address<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first way to fix any issues is to change your network\u2019s IP. This is a lot easier than you may think thanks to something called the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. DHCP is a protocol\u2014a set of rules that governs how machines \u201ctalk\u201d to each other\u2014which can change the IP address associated on the fly, hence \u201cdynamic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To do so, all you really need to do is turn your router off, wait 10 seconds, and turn it on again. (Simply resetting usually doesn\u2019t work, but it depends very much on the router.) Once the router is fully on and working again, you should have a new IP address.<\/p>\n<p>You can, of course, check to make sure. To do so, before you switch off the router, find your IP address either by asking your favorite search engine what it is or using a tool like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ipleak.net\">IPleak.net<\/a>. Write down the IP, switch your router on and off, and then check again.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Static_vs_Dynamic_IPs_Should_You_Get_a_Static_Address_Instead\"><\/span>Static vs. Dynamic IPs: Should You Get a Static Address Instead?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>However, the above fix is a short-term one that mainly only works if you have a simple issue, like if your router suddenly starts acting up. If you have permanent networking issues with your devices, you may have to throw out DHCP altogether and instead set up a static IP address, one that doesn\u2019t change.<\/p>\n<p>Setting a static IP address will hopefully get rid of any networking issues, or at least narrow down the list of possible causes for why your devices aren\u2019t talking to each other. That said, there are a few different ways to tackle this issue.<\/p>\n<p>First off, you could reach out to your ISP and simply ask them to change your IP address. You\u2019ll probably have to explain what the issue is and walk through a few steps with them\u2014this really depends on your ISP\u2014but if the tech is worth their salt, they\u2019ll take care of it for you.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manually_Set_a_Static_IP_Address\"><\/span>Manually Set a Static IP Address<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>However, that may not be necessary: there are plenty of ways you can track down and fix any issues yourself, starting with changing your router\u2019s IP to static. We have a full tutorial on how to set a static IP on your router, and this should hopefully change any issues you have on the network level.<\/p>\n<p>That said, it could be your laptop or desktop causing the issues. In that case, you could try setting a static IP on your Windows computer\u2014or, if you prefer, using the Windows command prompt. Members of Team Penguin can check out this tutorial on how to set a static IP in Ubuntu. It\u2019s also worth noting that\u00a0iPhones have a built-in function for changing IPs and setting static ones too.<\/p>\n<p>Whichever route you end up taking, with a few minutes of work your networking issues should be a thing of the past.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
