Oh, so typing cmd > ipconfig /release and then ipconfig /renew... won't work? You actually have to turn off the modem?

fruityoaty: thank you. both didn't work out for me. I've turned off my modem for more than 12 hours and didn't get a new IP.

gomi: assigned? what do you mean?

DHCP settings, so I must be using IP address that's not static. lease times are listed when I do ipconfig in windows

gomi: sa plan 900 lang eh. maaassign pa rin yun?

you're not using static ip. ask PLDT to configure it for oyu

gomi: thank you; I'll do a call

waffungjhay: talagang sa telco no? thanks.

there's also a probability that the ip address that you released to the pool will be the same ip that will be re-assigned to you.

if pldt assigns a long lease period and everyone else has no need to get a new ip (within lease period) then nobody will get your old ip.
