Finding a Good IP Range for Streamyx

What is an IP Range?


You can find out what your IP is (which changes everytime you reconnect to the internet) by visiting http://www.whatismyip.com/

An IP range (as how we define it), is a range of addresses. We find that with Streamyx, the most important digits to look for in an IP address are the FIRST TWO DIGITS : 124.82.xxx.xx

How to get a new IP Range

There is unfortunately no easy way about this. This is assigned on TM side and for our purposes is more or less random.

The only way to get a new IP is to disconnect and reconnect your connection and then recheck what IP you are on (you can do so by surfing to http://www.whatismyip.com/ if you forgot). We do find that different times of the day gives different sets of IP ranges.

However some tips:

1) Do not disconnect and reconnect too fast in rapid succession

Do it in perhaps of intervals of 5-10 seconds, taking breaks in between. If done too fast, TM blocks you from connecting for a few minutes, and increases this time with every subsequent attempt. Take it slow and steady.

2) Be patient

It is not uncommon to try 10-20 times until you find the desired IP range you want. Be patient and stay at it.
