what about buying more static IP address from your calbe provider I just bought 5 for $15 per month

usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.2 and admin / password

This is the usual.

But be aware you do not always get the same ip. Ip's do recycle or renew. Ip's are leased in an ip range which means i you are not really good at writting down and really keep track of used Ip you can get linked down the line.

I change just the last 2 numbers usually. But after 99 accounts you have to get a little bit more creative.

Thank you for the great info!
I've tried 5 times it and it really works :)

Im familer enough with change macs to get a new ips.

What im interested in is dose anybody have or know of a .bat script like file where you can setup so you click to change to a specific mac.

Therefore haveing a different .bat file for each ip relating to specific ebays accounts.

I know i read somewere that this is being used but i can't find it anywere.

Any help is much appreciated i have searched the fourm up & down and can't find any info

Great info! Thanks! Is anybody familiar with hacked cable modems?

Be careful - killed my router!!!
 

Hey guys,

I just wanted to let you know that I killed my router/vonage device by changing IP addresses too often :( It disconnects every hour or so and I need to restart it every time. LinkSys support guys said it was because I was playing with it.
I'm not a tech person so I cant say for sure whether he is right or wrong, but just be careful.

Cheers,

Kia

Buying Ip's
 

How did it go with the purchase of additional Ip's
I call my cable broadband service and they told me that I need to change from residential to business account to be able to buy additional IP's
How did it go for you..
I am in the south East USA..
Thanks
Joe

Does eBay or PP really care that much if its the same IP every time? Dont they just make sure its not the same one as another account? I keep cookies on separate user accounts so i assumed this was enough to keep them of my tracks. Cant believe i never seen this thread before.

Everything I tried doesn't work
 

I'm on Cox communications in Vegas. I have been trying to change my IP address for a week now. I am on modem>router?PC setup.
I simply disconnected the coaxial cable, disconnected the power cord and took out the backup battery and came back after 24 hours. Nothing. I did this 4 different times and the IP address was still exactly the same.

I have tried to change it by following the direction on this site and I am unable to change the MAC address. If I change the MAC address, the router can not get a new working IP address. It's possible I am doing this part incorrectly but I am wondering how this would change the IP address. No matter what I do with my hardware - PC, router, modem, MAC address, etc - isn't it ultimately up to my ISP's pool of IP addresses that assigns my IP address? How can what I do (such as changing the MAC address, etc as suggested here) within my house affect the IP address that my ISP assigns me? Isn't that totally random and I have zero control over it?
Whenever I change the MAC address, my internet goes down. I am unable to get a functioning new IP address when I change my MAC address. I change the MAC address (by changing the last 4 digits), hit SAVE...then nothing happens. My IP address goes blank and I can not get my internet to connect. I also turned off the router and modem at the same time and it still does not work. My ISp has told me that whatever I do, the IP address can not be changed unless they deem it necessary to change and that is a totally random process. Are they wrong?

Im glad my ip changes everytime with the phone and tether. Makes it so much simpler than rebooting my router 12x a night

How does one obtain a truly anonymous IP address? I know that using proxy servers will get you banned from eBay, but I don't like the idea that everything I do can be traced back to me via all the different IP addresses that I use. How do you keep yourself hidden without using a proxy?

I never had any luck get back same ip I had before when change mac back. I guess the ip's already been assigned to someone else.

sorry but what user/password?? for my pc? I dont have username/password for my router. I just plugged it in & looked for netgear conetcion
thanks

This method is only working for me 50% of the time, and it has me beyond frustrated. I have a giant log of all my mac addresses and IP addresses. However, I will be trying to change to account B with account B's associated MAC address. I restart my router and my modem and after my internet connection is back up I find that I do not have account B's IP address, I end up having another account's IP address, and not a random IP address. Why is this happening? What am I not doing correct? Which needs to be reset first, the modem or the router? I have a d-link extreme n gigabit router and what usually works is allowing the router to go through its normal 60 second reboot time and then simply rebooting the modem. However, this only works 50% of the time. I have tried rebooting both the router and the modem, leaving each of them off for more than a minute and I keep getting stuck with the wrong IP addresses. Can someone please help?

I can confirm that this works 100% here in Netherlands cable network!! Great stuff, so easy aswell

Need Help Please!!
 

There is good information in here and I am almost there. Your info is same as mines as well as Motorola with same username and password. I clicked on "Basic" when I sign in username and password and it shows "Spoofed MAC Address" so is that where I change it and it will change my ip?

Hard for me to believe ebay cares that you use the same IP each time you log from same account. So changing your mac to try to retrieve the same IP is waste of time. Think about it... ebay has iphone app. They are going to see different cellular IPs almost all the time you use this app.

I keep a list in order as I change the mad.,, 1a, 1b etc. then I go back and log the ip that came up. I also log my last 7 ips with each user account. Some IP's have repeated.

My Internet service provider is Comcast. I know that you could get back your IP address only for a short period of time using this method. The method in which you change your router's Mac address. I think it's almost guaranteed to get the same IP address within 30 minutes. If you move to the second IP address, And stayed there overnight, Then revert back to the old Mac address, A lot of times that first IP address is no longer there. It must have been assigned to somebody else throughout my area. Just my two cents.

Re: HOW TO: Change Cable Modem IP Addresses to CONTROLLED NUMBERS
 

Is there a way to do this just for PC. We have about 3 different routers at our warehouse. We have comcast. No apple though just regular PC and laptops.

Re: HOW TO: Change Cable Modem IP Addresses to CONTROLLED NUMBERS
 

I would like to change IP address

Re: HOW TO: Change Cable Modem IP Addresses to CONTROLLED NUMBERS
 

I had a problem figuring out the best way to manage IP's and what worked for me is using Time Warner cable with their basic package for $25 a month. I use a $40 linksys router forget what the exact model is but i can go into 192.168.1.1 and change the MAC address, save it, reboot router, restart modem for about 15 seconds. Plug modem, plug in router, and I get a new IP. I can change the MAC address back to the previous one, and 9 times out of 10 gives me the same IP I had with that MAC address.

Re: HOW TO: Change Cable Modem IP Addresses to CONTROLLED NUMBERS
 

Since I know nothing about computers, I purchased "Hide My Ass" which is an IP "hider" and it updates/changes my IP address every 10 mins. Not only good for the Ebay/Paypal thing but also for security reasons.

Re: HOW TO: Change Cable Modem IP Addresses to CONTROLLED NUMBERS
 

Hide My Ass is the last thing you want to be using. A lot of the IP's handed out by this program are well known to Ebay. There are other better options such as Dialup, USB Modem(Dongle), Phone Tethering.

Re: HOW TO: Change Cable Modem IP Addresses to CONTROLLED NUMBERS
 

This is a bad idea as explained above by MM78. Hide My ass, will your hurt your ass.

Ebay/Paypal can easily detect you are using that and limit/suspend you immediately.

There are other alternatives for using this - especially in the US. Dongle, IP tethering, heck even dial-up is an option.

Avoid Hide My Ass and any other program that claims to hide your ip.

Re: HOW TO: Change Cable Modem IP Addresses to CONTROLLED NUMBERS
 

So once I saved the ip and MAC address, than I should follow the same process for next IP. The part I dont understand is so everytime I will move to new account I have to change the mac address also? or should I just use new IP on different window user accounts to access ebay or paypal? correct me if i am wrong IP is the only that I need to use on different window user accounts right?

thanks

Re: HOW TO: Change Cable Modem IP Addresses to CONTROLLED NUMBERS
 

This works for me as well. But what if I want to switch between 3 SAME IP addresses as I currently run three different ebay accounts. Sometimes I switch back to the previous MAC Address and I get new IP not the same one. Anyone managed to get same IPs all the time when they switch between MACs or it depends on the ISP itself?

Re: HOW TO: Change Cable Modem IP Addresses to CONTROLLED NUMBERS
 

Since I live outside USA I use VPNs only to create an account. After a week after the account's been created I move to my local IPs and I haven't got any trouble so far (I've been on ebay for couple of years now).

So this is my advice to all international users for both ebay and amazon.
You better use your local IP and use this tool to switch between IPs for every single account you have than using VPN or VPS.

Re: HOW TO: Change Cable Modem IP Addresses to CONTROLLED NUMBERS
 

Does this still work? Anyone know how to integrate with verizon fios and their stupid router/modem in one?

Re: HOW TO: Change Cable Modem IP Addresses to CONTROLLED NUMBERS
 

This is confirmed still working. Fiber optic is a different beast entirely. On another very random note. This may be a critical step in getting free cable internet.

Re: HOW TO: Change Cable Modem IP Addresses to CONTROLLED NUMBERS
 

Would this idea work?

Have multiple routers, each labeled with each of your eBay/PayPal account combos. As you switch accounts via separate user accounts on your laptop, switch your routers and document your new IP via ipchicken.com.

Re: Buying Ip's
 

Hey I'm in the same boat with comcast saying I needed to upgrade. Any luck on changing IP's? Any direction would be appreciated.

Re: HOW TO: Change Cable Modem IP Addresses to CONTROLLED NUMBERS
 

well in the ebay stealth guide it says you will retain your ip. so if this is not always true, why does this guide get such good reviews or is there an update to the guide?

Re: HOW TO: Change Cable Modem IP Addresses to CONTROLLED NUMBERS
 

stealth is always changing stay on forums for updates. As far as this thread all he is stating is that he found a way to have a dedicated IP address for each account.

Simple save your MAC address. and that will act as a different router. As you know router swapping works great aswell.

Re: HOW TO: Change Cable Modem IP Addresses to CONTROLLED NUMBERS
 

the guide fails to mention the time you will be able to get back your original IP when you change back to the matching MAC address. example: for Comcast it's 2 hours minimum but up to 24 hours you will be able to get back your original IP.

Re: HOW TO: Change Cable Modem IP Addresses to CONTROLLED NUMBERS
 

SORRY that is WRONG!!!!


stop calling Comcast.

All you need is your original Mac Address from your Personal Router. Save it.

switch it get a new IP

Go back to it and you'll get the same IP address in 2 minutes!

Obviously if you dont login to that MAC address for a while you'll loose that IP.

Re: HOW TO: Change Cable Modem IP Addresses to CONTROLLED NUMBERS
 

I just installed the fiber optic. ip I dinamica.pero to power cycle the router does not change my IP address public Adsl had before and I had no problem you know how to change the ip

Re: HOW TO: Change Cable Modem IP Addresses to CONTROLLED NUMBERS
 

I have yet to try it out as I don't want to end up with a handful of suspended accounts lol.

Re: HOW TO: Change Cable Modem IP Addresses to CONTROLLED NUMBERS
 

This is awesome
