I am working with an Apache server on Windows ME, and first, I don't know my computer's address on the internet (IP address?) and second, I would like to change it. What can I do?
 
Come up with a new domain name its taken already
IP Address : 216.85.125.174
Hostname : bryan.com

estyle77,

Do you mean the IP address specified in your TCP/IP settings for DNS server? Otherwise your question makes no sense.

If you're using a windows machine, you're using the windows TCP/IP stack, and therefore you need to use windows to change this setting.

Perhaps more info on what you're trying to accomplish might help us?

Changing IP?

Depends on your ISP and connection type. Try to contact your Internet provider, and ask them... In the command window: Try ipconfig /renew, or ipconfig /release...

Alternatively: Set up an open source Firewall (for instance (Download for free)) on a designated pc. It will run nicely on a Pentium 200 with 64MB RAM.
Your pc will be effectively hidden from everyone not specifically allowed access.

:)
