How to Renew your Private IP Address
Most of the times it happens when you are using Internet and suddenly you get an error stating “page cannot found”, and it starts happening with every website you open. The first thing you will do is that you will check your routers and other networking devices. In case they are working properly and you are still getting the same error, then probably the problem is with your IP address.
