Netbook NIC card

rcdrivertim · #1 07-24-2010

If I disable my NIC card in my netbook, can eBay/PP still get the address off it when I sign on with the cellular modem?

Does anyone have any knowledge on this?

I don't believe so. It has to be an active connection. the best thing is to disable it and the use a mac spoofing tools to choose a different vendor and change the nics vendor code along with a matching mac address. then use a usb to Ethernet nic or broadband card that has a dynamic ip. You have be careful some are static. you don;t want this.

Your NIC's can be disabled or active.
Amazon can still see it.
eBay/Paypal do not track the NIC information.

As Vicvelcro once said.....
If a car load of 8 people go to the gas station to get gas.
1 person goes in to pay for it.
The gas attendant in the store can still see the other 7 in the car.

If we don't have NIC card per say and simply have the wireless internet button built into the laptop is there still an NIC to track?

Yes there are another 10+ NIC's that have MAC addresses that you are not seeing.
And if you are on a Laptop then the Ethernet is built into the motherboard and it IS a NIC....

Ok - I use an old laptop for Amazon ebay whatever else on Dial-up right now.

Since I don't know all about NICs and MACs what I have done is this:
1. No LAN cable...so that's out.
2. No WiFi access or wireless access - but yes it says wireless connections are available but I don't use them.

I stick to dial-up and make accounts running - seems to be fine so far.
