Sorry if this is in the wrong area, but I'm not exactly sure where to post this question. I'm working on a Web site script that captures IP addresses of visitors and pipes them into a custom database, and would like to test it using my own connection.
I have DSL on a Westell Wirespeed, and was wondering if there was an easy way to change the WAN IP address via a command like netsh or similar. I can do a reset via the firmware, and it will force my ISP to assign a new dynamic address, but that's rather inconvenient to do. I'd ideally like to have a command (or perhaps a batch file, if necessary) to do it quickly instead of having to load a browser, hit localhost, and do a connection restart manually.
Can anybody suggest a quick way to accomplish this? Being able to quickly pull a new IP address would enable me to thoroughly test the script I'm working on and see real IP addresses coming in. Thanks for any ideas.
