Um, no. AOL doesn't care who has your IP address (and neither
should you since it doesn't matter).  AOL assigns people IP
addresses when they log on (as to most dialup ISP's).  Because
of this, your IP address probably won't be the same the next
time you log on.  As for changing your IP address while you
are connected, this is physically impossible since this would
cause everything you are currently doing (web browsing,
downloads, IRC, ICQ, etc.) to disconnect and have to be
restarted.
