Changing Static IP Address

dgs — Sun, 02 Apr 2023 22:57:54 GMT

Due to problems accessing a website from my current static IP address for no apparent reason, is it possible to change the static IP address I have been allocated

Alternatively how can I switch to a dynamic IP - If I go to the connection settings page it states I am on a dynamic IP but it is the same address and only IP address I have had for many many years

I am also having website connection problems since changing to a static IP a few days ago.

@dgs
What problem website is this and what is the exact problems you are encountering?

@SteveR ‘s problem was different and has been since resolved.

The site loads but all data is empty ($0.000, 0.0%, etc)

If I connect via my mobile (not WiFi) or via a VPN all data is displayed correctly, as if my IP address is is on some sort of blacklist (there is no reason it should be)

First of your all of your IP is not banned it shouldnt be an issue. Secondly, changing settings from your network settings will not assign you a new IP address unless your ISP allow it.

Anyhow, have you tried with a VPN? Try using a VPN and then confirm your new IP address from any whatismyip website and see if it works.

@pngtank That just sounds like a pile of rubbish.

Like I said above, the issue resolves if I use a VPN, but returns as soon as I disconnect from the VPN

This issue continued for around 3-4 days then even the VPN didn't help, then the next day was solved again so as of now all is working fine

@dgs Working fine - as in via your normal fixed IP? Could have been a problem at the other end.

Yes still using the original static IP and all fine, so seems to have been a temporary issue that is now resolved without changing anything
