well if your banned you should not evade :P but to change your ip it depends on your ISP. Or, you can try using a proxy. http://www.openproxies.com go to tools - options - connections - lan and use proxy server.

good luck :)

Hrm.

Getting your IP address is not something that you can hide. If people couldn't find your IP address, there'd be absolutely no way you could do ANYTHING on the Internet. In fact, IP stands for Internet Protocol.

If you're banned from a site, you must have done something to deserve being banned. I concur with Monte's sentiments on not trying to evade the ban. (Allow me to add, don't do anything to get banned here, either! ;) ) If you really have some kind of reason to change your IP address, contact your ISP. They have methods for assigning your system a different IP addresses. Additionally, look into learning how to release and renew an IP address from a DHCP server. Often times simply releasing/renewing your IP gives you a new one.

You can also use these public proxy servers where it will "give you" an IP address:

Keep in mind though, that because they are public, the web site that banned you might have a list of these IP addresses already and not allow you in. However, don't feel too secure even if you use a proxy. You can still be detected by someone who knows what they're doing.
