So I think I remember hearing that unplugging the internet router for 30 seconds would reset your IP to a new one; true?

    I was under the impression that TNT only cared about the parts of your IP address that won't change when you do this anyway?

    Yeah your isp is constantly allocating ips based on availability. If you're on dynamic you probably just got reissued the same one you deallocated. Chances are you aren't going to be able to cycle through the same ones over and over. tl;dr your plan is bad

    Very unlkely actually. Most DHCP servers will give you an address for at least 4 hours. Your best option if rebooting doesn't work is to give your router a different MAC address.
