I thought cable used a static IP. Just wondering, I'm no expert.

Not for residential cable users. In my case, Adelphia uses DHCP but with long lease times so my ip addy almost never changes.

You change your IP address
-buy another ethernet card
-use command prompt " ipconfig /release "
-PULL THE POWER CORD OUT THE MODEM FAST SO THE MODEM WILL NOT TRY TO RECONNECT TO THE INTERNET
-wait a couple minutes or a hour...wait a hour or so is the best option
-switch the cards by taking out the cable connecting ethernet card #1 to the modem. Connect that cable to ethernet card #2 and the modem.
-put the power cord back in to the modem.
-your IP address should be change
You can change your IP address again and again using those two ethernet cards and by following those step...
I can't get another IP address without doing those steps because of the ISP for some reason.
