If you're on dial-up, disconnect and reconnect.

If you're on broadband, disconnect for a few hours/days (ISP pending) and reconnect.

yeh it changed does this mean its hard for someone to pin point the exact location of you from your ip address?

by the way ive been reading about ip addresses and i found some info stating that if u have a router and a firewall when u go to a website that tracks ur ip address it could be getting the ip address of your router or firewall if this is true how can u find your real ip address?

Your real IP address can be found by going to:
http://www.ipchicken.com/ or http://www.whatismyip.com/
That is your WAN IP Address (Wide Area Network)

All the IP address will do is trace you back to a certain country and sometimes which part of that country (such as which US State for example) but it will never trace you down to a certain street.

It will find your real IP address - the same one that the router is using to give your computer(s) internet access.
