How do I change my IP via terminal?
Hi, guys, I was using an online utility to check wheather or not an email existed, and they gave me three tries. I thought clearing temp and cookies would work, but it looks like they grabbed a hold of my IP. Smilie Now, I'd like to make a shell script that changes my IP. Not bad...yet. I'm using Wlan on a tablet PC that has no network jack. Thanks in advance for the help.

BTW, I'm using Fedora, so the script will have to be compatible with RedHat. Also, I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting with a 30 second pause between, and my IP still hasn't changed.

Not clear. Pls show your setup, applications involved, and error messages on top of explaining what you have tried so far.

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough. Basically all I want is the combination to get my router to give me a new IP.

Internal IP ? use dhcp. External IP? Disconnect and reconnect, provider will give you a new IP.

Provider...you mean ISP?

Code:
bash: dhcp: command not found

Yes, Provider = ISP

c.f. $ man dhclient

Use a proxy, or a VPN, to obfuscate your IP address.

yourPC ==> proxy ==> targetSystem
your_IP --> proxy_IP --> targetSystem sees the proxy_IP instead of your_IP
