If you have a dynamic IP address (most people do), getting a new IP is as simple as changing a byte in your router's MAC address.



It's probably the modem's MAC that matters for cable, and that is probably tied to the account.


I have a cable internet connection and know the difference between a modem and a router. You'll have to take my word for it that every time I change my router's MAC address, my public IP does as well.


Interesting. I've always had to activate a specific modem MAC with my cable provider.
