My Dynamic IP Address Will not change when Hooked to my Router!!!

Ok,

I am now fed up with this. I have been trying for about a year now to get this damn IP Address to change and it simply won't. When I contact the ISP they assure me that my connection is indeed Dynamic and should change, and since this is the case they can't do anything on their end. When I hook the modem directly to the PC's NIC the IP will change with a snap of a finger. But as soon as I hook it back up to the router and reset everything, release and renew, Bam its right back to this Old IP Address that I have had for a year now. I have the router set to "Retreive IP Adress Automatically from Service Provider" as well as the DNS addresses. Now if it is retreiving the address from a Dynamic connection should it not be different every time? There is a built in Release and Renew in the router options and when using that it still resets to the same Address over and over again. Please somebody explain what the deal is. I have tried leaving everything unhooked for hours and trying again with still no luck.

ISP is Comcast with a comcast Cable modem

Router:

NetGear WGR 614 v6 Wireless

Please explain what the problem is if you know. How can it stay static if it is dynamic. My ISP tells me it is impossible for it to remain static everytime I try to contact them about the issue. Either there is something beyond my knowledge setup that is preventing it from changing or my ISP is simply fucking with me. Please help.

Change the MAC address of your router and voila.

When I do that I cannot get an external connection. My external IP resets to 0.0.0.0 and nothing else happens. As far as I can see there is no "cloning" function for this router. At least it does not appear in the admin panel.

This makes me lol. The router has it's own ip meaning if you go out and buy another router it will be a different ip but it wont change and if you go back and get the old router it will be your old ip.

Try this first:

1. Open up your command prompt (start > run > cmd)
2. Type: ipconfig /renew
3. Wait for it to load, then exit out.

That should request a new external IP from your ISP and automatically refresh it for you.

If that still doesn't change anything, you'll need to go into your router through your internet browser (most commonly: 192.168.1.1). In there, look for something that either says "DHCP release" or "DHCP renew" and try using that. That should drop the IP you have now and request a new one via the router, which should allow you to dynamically attain a new IP.
