How do I change my IP address without losing my connection to the internet on a college campus?

I'm attempting to change my IP address at college and I've tried a variety of ways, but there seems to be no way of changing the IP address without losing my connection to the internet. I've tried releasing/renewing, manually setting it to a different number, etc, but to no avail. Is there any way I can change my IP address from my own computer, or would I need access to the university routers?How do I change my IP address without losing my connection to the internet on a college campus?
It can be done in almost any wireless scenario, but I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish. It could be as easy as changing your PC's MAC address (many downloadable software tools can do this). There are other more detailed/illegal ways like hijacking someone else's session, but again this all depends on the configuration of the network.



Why are you trying to change your IP address? I assume you mean the private one you're being assigned, correct? This will not affect how the outside world sees you.How do I change my IP address without losing my connection to the internet on a college campus?
Maybe. But it may be hard to do as since this is a university so much more ip address would be currently allocated to someone else and/or how they design their subnet can differ. Some will not allow computers to connect ,unless they use the ip address that was given to them automatically by their DHCP servers.





BTW, what use would it be anyway. This ip address that is used internally in the campus does not affect the ip address that will shown on the internet.
you cant access the internet without an IP address, its like trying to phone someone without a phone number
Can't be done.
