Changing IP - Lease time method/Mac cloning

[zgegeg123]

I got a static IP, I was wondering if I could change the IP by changing the lease time to 1 hour instead of the 24 hour.

It looks something like this:



I accidently deleted the subway on paint lol, so dont worry about that.

If I change this from 24 to 1 hour and pull out my modem/router for 1 hour, will I get assigned a new IP?

If not, how can I clone my MAC address, I know my current one, but I see the MAC word only once on my router/modem settings and it's under wireless.

It looks like this:

So please tell me what method I should use. When I called my ISP they wouldn't allow to change the IP, "we don't provide this service"

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum!

That first screen shot is the IP of your router's internal interface, and the range of IPs and lease time the router assigns local networked devices, like your computer. Changing that lease time will only affect the IPs on the LAN, not your external (internet) IP.

Second screen shot is MAC filtering for wireless. That section is for wireless security, not changing your external IP. If you put a MAC in there, only the device with that MAC can use your wireless connection, you can usually add multiple MACs for that.

Alright, thanks. So how do I change my external IP then? I can't find any option for that on my router.

Device Info

Advanced Setup > Lan or Nat>Virtual Servers/Port Triggering/DMZ host

Wireless>Basic/Security/Mac Filter/Advanced/Station Info

Voice>Caller Id Mode

Management>Passwords/Restore Default

That is all I got when I go to 192.168.1.1

What's the make and model of this device you are using?

Have tried looking for it. No idea on how to find it.

Any ideas to make my ISP change my IP? Everytime I called them they think I'm some dumb customer and tell me to turn off firewall, scan my pc or tell me to fill in some bull**** DNS which is not going to help when I'm getting ddos'd attack.

DDOS is affecting you?

First thing is to try to find out how to protect against that- no replies to ping should do it.

MAC spoofing is a good way to get your IP changed. Being limited to the screenshots you posted and no model number, my hands are tied- I have no idea if you can do it with that device.

What do you mean by "no replies to ping should do it" how do I do this ?

Also can you tell me how you would MAC spoof so I can change my IP? I can at least try, and see if the option is there when I go to 192.168.1.1

Z,

From the screen shot above there is an option on the left navigation menu that says "Device Info".

Perhaps that will give us a make/model so we can help further.

Ok I found some people on the internet who have the same ISP as me and got some info about their router. Found some pictures too and it looked the same.

The name is this: Davolink DV-2020

This is what I get when I press "device info"

usually by disabling ping reply, sometimes called ICMP

I'm looking at the manual for the davolink model you mentioned and that thing is not very comprehensive at all, it looks like you may be out of luck with MAC spoofing and blocking ping replies

how do you know you are a victim of a DDOS attack?

I know, because:

1. When I netstat -a it shows some connection attacking me, same on comodo firewall.
2. My packetloss on TeamSpeak goes up to about 25%
3. My ping goes about to 500
4. They brag about it

It's a ddos attack.

If I were you, I would buy a retail router (Linksys--- maybe even D-Link or something - whatever you can get in your area), then call the ISP and tell them you want to set the davolink in bridge mode- which essentially turns it into a modem only.

Tell them you have determined the lack of typical router features and configuration on the davolink has caused you performance issues and security risks.

Once the davolink is acting only as a modem, setup the router and use it to do your MAC spoofing and ping blocks.

If they can't do this, ask them to send you modem instead of this modem/router combo you have - or ask them what kind of modem you may purchase on your own that will work with their system.

You'll also need some info from the ISP as to how to setup the router. If your connection is PPPoE (I'm going to guess that it is), then you'll need the username and password for it. In my experience with the providers in the US, the username/password for PPPoE is usually the primary email address (as username) and the password associated with that email address.
