Im running on a Windows XP. I want to change my IP but when I go to command prompt and do ipconfig /release ip config/renew
it just gives me the same IP over and over. Anyone know how I can fix this?
Interests:I like historical buildings, ghost, and dogs &cats

Your internet provider gives you the ip address that you are using.
This is why you get the same address.
You can not decide to give yourself a new address.
Are you able to access the internet?
Deo gratiam habeamus

Computer CPUs are designed so that the address of any piece of data in virtual memory is tracked by a single integer register. So the total amount of data the computer can keep in its working field depends on the width of these registers. A 32 bit register size enables 232 addresses (4 GB) to be referenced. Switching to a 64 bit register increases the available address space to (approximately) 16 TB. This is why 32 bit operating systems can only use up to 4 GB of RAM, and 64 bit operating systems can use much more. (I have a 32 bit system)
