If your modem is a combination unit, that won't work. I'm not familiar with your brand, so I can't say that IP hopping would even work for you. If there's any chance at all, it would be by spoofing the MAC in the router. I have discovered that most (not all) devices issued by an ISP will have the admin functions disabled.

I do know that I use a standalone Linksys router (have used one everywhere I have lived) and no matter what modem I have had to use (Motorola, Scientific Atlanta, RCA, etc.), I hop IPs by changing the MAC in the router and then reset the MODEM (not the router). Works like a charm.

If you try the method from the other thread, go to IP Chicken - Whats my IP address? ip address lookup and view your INTERNET IP ADDRESS. That's the address the rest of the world sees. Your internal LAN IP may look different (192.168.1.101 or 192.168.1.127 or etc) and it won't matter to the world. You need to be able to change WAN. So, try the other method, then IP Chicken - Whats my IP address? ip address lookup, then change something and IP Chicken - Whats my IP address? ip address lookup again, to see if your WAN IP is still the same, or if it changed. If it did NOT change, you need to try something else or you will be linked.
