Ok, look your router has a web admin page. Talk to it like
you do any other web page and send it the commands to refresh it's IP.
Chances are you'll get the same one, though, they get stuck to MAC addresses.

That depends greatly on your internet service. I would suggest a post
in your ISP's newsgroups or forums to find out what you need to do
with yours to get a new IP (release/renew from the router;
release/renew/disconnect for some known period of time;
release/renew/disconnect/reset; etc).
