Change IP router automatically

[codedi]

Hello,

I'm using a generic ADSL modem configured as a router for network access.
Is there a way to make my router disconnect and reconnect in order to acquire a new IP address from my internet supplier in an automated way wohtout me accessing the router the modem control interface ?
Maybe through a command line script or a third-party application ?

Please help !

Why would you want to change the IP address? How do you manage your modem? Through telnet? You have to script whatever you normally do to force the modem to reset and acquire anew IP address.

i want to be able to schedule ip changes for an application i'm using.

i manage my modem through the the web interface i can acceess int the default gateway ip address.

my modem is configured as a router (i have adsl) and it auto dials and receive an ip address from my internet supplier.

when i want to change ip address now i access the moded-router management interface and manually choose disconnect and connect.

my question is how can id do it automatically.

You can write it yourself or buy something like http://www.download3k.com/Press-Record-and-play-back-mouse-clicks-and-keystrokes.html. You'll have to schedule when the application runs.

how can i write it myself ?

i don't really like macro recordings, to many things can make them to not work properly in real-time.

If you don't like macro recording, then your only solution is to script it yourself or write code in Java, VB, C++, C#, etc. Either way you need to use the web interface, therefore using macro recording certainly is the easiest solution.

Another solution is to connect the modem to a programmable timer that will power it off and on at preset time of day. I don't know if you can find one that will power off and on for only a few seconds. Such a timer probably will be expensive.
