As to whether your IP refreshes or not, it depends if your ISP allocates you a dynamic or static IP. Who are you with?

Even if you have a dynamic IP, it may not tend to change often. Best to turn your modem off, and wait eg 30 mins before turning it back on and see if you get a different IP. Also, some sites might ban a block of IPs because of the dynamic IP situation.
It's like a P2P application as opposed to a site.
I had the modem unplugged all night, but I've yet to see the result.
Lets say this dynamic IP thing IS the case, what would be a way around that?

As far as proxies go, what sort did you use? If it was a transparent proxy, then if the site is well written it will see your "real" IP. Some sites will block known proxy servers to avoid people hiding their IP behind a proxy. Try using TOR.
It was a "highly anonymous" one...didn't say anything about transparency, I just enabled it, went back in, same shit happened.
...I don't know what TOR is.
