How do i get a new ip address with verizon?

Question

Im looking to get a new external ip address. I have verizon fios intenet. The router is the standard one that verizon gives out (Actiontec MI-424-WRv2). So far i have read that turning the router off could give you a new ip. I turned it off for about 45 minutes and when i turned it back on i had the same ip. I also read that you can refresh your DHCP settings and that might give you a new ip, but i cant figure out how to do this with this router. Any ideas?

Update:

Thanks for the tips Bob, but it didnt work. I need to change the external ip. The one thats something like 75.103.222.XXX. I think what you told me, resets my internal ip, the one thats like 192.168.0.1 or whatever.

Open your Internet Browser.
type: 192.168.1.1 into the address bar
Your Admin and Password is most likely admin and password(or password1)
Click on the tab that says "Network"
Click on "Network Connections"
Click on whichever "Broadband Connection" has a status of "Connected"
Click on "Settings"
Scroll down to "DHCP Lease"
Click on "Release"
Click on "Renew"

Verizon Fios Change Ip Address

bob · Answer

open a command prompt, press the windows key + r and type CMD and press enter,   type         ipconfig /release, wait a few seconds then type ipconfig /renew, this will reset your network adapter which should give you a new IP address.   If this dosen't work contact Verizon Tech Support.

If it was sent with Gmail, chances are it was sent through Google's servers and not directly from the person's IP. So you're trying to track Google's email servers.
