Hello
In my company we have changed internet service provider and we have a new IP address. We have a Cisco 2811 router.
Please could you tell me a guide to change the public IP.
Thank you

you need to access device via terminal using console or SSH/telnet which is enabled. after that configure the interface IP which connecting to new ISP with new IP. also make sure required routing in place. if you want command help you can post your interface and routing details in config here with new IP address details

I logged with putty and have this info (I replace real IP values with letters XXX,YYY, AAA, BBB)
RTR-01#show IP interface brief
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
FastEthernet0/0 200.XXX.YYY.214 YES NVRAM up up
FastEthernet0/1 192.168.40.65 YES NVRAM up up
Serial0/0/0 unassigned YES NVRAM administratively down down
Serial0/0/1 unassigned YES NVRAM administratively down down
Serial0/1/0:0 172.16.99.30 YES NVRAM administratively down down
NVI0 200.XXX.YYY.214 YES unset up up
RTR-01#exit

Generally, you'll need to replace all the places your prior IP address/subnet are referenced with your new IP address/subnet and possibly doing likewise for your next-hop outbound address/subnetwork.
For starters, you would need to revise the IP address statement on your WAN facing interface. You'll probably also have a default route statement that will need to be revised.
From your second posting, it looks like you're using 192.168.40.65 for your LAN facing interface. If so, I would suppose, as is usually the case, you're using private IP addressing internally, which generally implies your doing NAT/PAT between your internal private IP addressing and the public IP addressing of the Internet. That will need revision too.
You might also have a FW feature set and/or ACLs that might need revision too.
The foregoing probably addresses (pun not intended - laugh) all related changes needed when changing your public IP, but if you prior external IP was a DHCP address, or the new now is, you'll need to look for DHCP references in addition to actual external old/new IP addresses (and subnets).
