Re: Alternatives to changing IP address by changing MAC address & rebooting router?
If you are planning ahead of time, it may be worth setting up remote access to your desktop (remote desktop, gotomypc...etc) and then you can work as if you were normally at home. It may be more or less complicated depending on what router you have, but if you just need to change mac and then reboot the modem, then the only consideration is making sure you are able to find the new IP address (you can use dynamic dns services, or go to my pc (or similar) will mean you dont need to find the IP but you may need to wait a few minutes before logging in again). You should test your remote solution before going out of town, for example going to a coffee shop down the street, making sure you can log in, reset the IP and log in again.
