You can try to clone the mac address for the ISP modem.
However you Mac actually change the MAC address of the router as they are hard coded into the HW of the router.

Unplug the power from your router and cable/dsl modem.  Plug in modem and let it boot up until all lights are on. Then plug in router and let it boot up.  This MAY give you a new IP without having to do a lot of extra work.

You really shouldn't need a new IP from your provider (unless of course you have been IP banned from a gaming server  ;D)

That's why I said MAY. 
Why do you think you need a new IP address? 
How are you connected cable, DSL ?

Hi Glda19,

You can't. The D-Link monitors your DSL or Cable Modem and grabs the IP Address from your ISProvider, automatically.
