Your options would be to use a different proxy, or perhaps switch provider or ask your provider to assign you a new IP?

Yeah, the only thing you can really do is have your ISP give you an external IP. I doubt they will do so, though, since that means they will have to rewire your single piece of cat5 different than anyone elses, which if enough people ask will create quite a mess in the wiring closet.

Any ISP that puts all of their customers on one IP is pretty crappy, so you should switch anyways.

You must have DSL, so long as you dont disconnect you will keep the same IP. Then theres a couple DNS sites you can look into for web hosting, even with a dynamic IP.

no, because your IP is irrelevant, it's the ISP's proxy IP that is doing the website grabbing, not your IP, so your IP never makes it to the actual website servers. Your IP is only relevant to the proxy server in the fact that it knows which IP requested which info (also uses MAC addy, i'm sure).
