How do I change my IP address?

I don't think you can ;) If you had dial-up, it would be easy. Corret me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's not possible

What if I shut the power off and on again so that the DSL modem has to reconnect?

Hmm...That MIGHT work. Unplug your modem and plug it back in ;)

Still the same

Hmm...try shutting it down and bring it back up. If that doesn't work, then I'm out of ideas!

I looked at your host name and it won't change. You would have had to get it to have the option where it did change when you got it.

just get a router with a firewall then you dont have to worry about getting hax0r3d. I got a compaq ipaq for 90$ and it works very well. Guy at radioshack said its one of the best. I think linksys is good too.
