Need new IP address
I have spent hours today and gotten nowhere. No one seems to understand English. The IP address I have been using for quite a while is on many block lists and my emails are going into people's spam folders. This is a HUGE problem for me and my ability to connect with potential clients. It is not a hosting issues, it is an IP issue. I can not get a new IP address simply by doing a ipconfig/release as was initially suggested and no one at this company seems to be able to do anything. I have cancelled my services effective 30 days from now because of this.

As a non-business subscriber, you are randomly assigned an IP address from those available in your area. You will receive a new IP address on an interval determined by the carrier. Your IP address will not remain the same (known as a static IP address), unless you are specifically paying for it. You can see what your currently assigned IPV4 and IPV6 IP addresses are by visiting

In a couple of days, your IP addresses will be different, depending upon the interval the carrier has set for IP address renewal.

One final comment; you can try unplugging your modem, waiting 30 seconds, and then plugging it back in. Sometimes that gives you a different IP address than you had before you unplugged it, but it doesn't always work; you are assigned an IP address from those that are currently not in use, and sometimes you get the same one that you just 'released'.
