HOW TO: Change Cable Modem IP Addresses to CONTROLLED NUMBERS
 

Using Boomers method, I have found a way to KEEP GETTING the same IP addresses for each account I run on my Cable Modem with Wireless setup. By remembering the Random MAC address for which account youve changed the IP address for, you can re-apply the MAC after changing to another one and you will get the same IP address that was previously associated with it.

Save the MAC address to an excel file that you should have for your IP addresses used per account. When you change your MAC for another account, your IP address will change as well. Saving this will revert back to your other accounts IP address.

This has been done for about two weeks now and is still working flawlessly.

UPDATE: This fix works a good amount of time. The longer span of time between MAC changes, the more risk of not having the same IP as another computer could be assigned to it.

The test was conducted on comcast with a wireless router.

Nice little work around , thanks for the additional information. I too have Comcast, but am not sure this would work great for me as my accounts are not local. I have yet to try it out as I don't want to end up with a handful of suspended accounts lol.

From above, Can I ask a question?

"Where to type it in after open IE or firefox??....you mean address bar?"

yes the address bar
it will then ask you for username and password

Didnt work for me. It shows "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"
....let me know how to do this again please. I am not good at it. Thank you.

ps. I put 192.168.0.6 (my router address) into address bar (where I usually type in website address e.g. Sign In) and it didnt go to a page or anything to ask me for username and password

Where did I say anything about MAC spoofing? Im talking about changing cable modem IP addresses to controlled numbers. Ive been using this method and have had the same 10+ IP addresses for over two weeks. So it DOES work.

As for the address to enter. Each router is different. Its usually these:

http://192.168.0.1
http://192.168.1.1

You enter it in the address bar in either IE or Firefox

Ohhhhh....Thank you so much !!!! The above link(first one for me) is working now. The username and password page has come out on the screen. Also your method works for me too!!! :)

However there is a weird thing here. When I check my router address, it is 192.168.0.6 ?!?!?!?!? (not 192.168.0.1 which is the correct one)

Thanks again. :p;):o

Thats fine. Anywhere around that region is good. There must be more than one computer accessing the network.

I can control mine as well. I write down the Mac Address i use one for each ebay id then if i want to log on/off ebay ids i will use the macs assigned for each id to have the same ip address every time. It works like a charm.

Now if only you could change your location by MAC spoofing. I did one time Spoof the MAC and ended up with a ip from KS

Why write down when you can excel in life?

Well i use notepad as well but incase something happens i will have them wrote down on paper.

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

I tried this method... and it changed the last 5 numbers in the ip address so I can create multiple stealth ebay and paypal accounts this way?

Is this method only for people who use a router?
I have a cable modem, but no router.

works best with a router...go buy a used one for $20

Hi, there.

Does it works with the Mac Address that I can change via My internet protocol properties in network connection?

Does it always come back to the same ip as well??

As my router doesn't allow me to change the mac address. It doesn't has any option to change it.

My modem+router is Billion

Thanks

Get a linksys or belkin router...they are easy to change MAC address. You need to be online at least once in a 24 period with the MAC address to keep the IP.

Hi there.

How if I buy a linksys dsl modem with router built in.

Does it works with the mac address change?

Or I should get them separately?

Thanks

^^^sky, are you sure that your ISP gives you a dynamic IP?

i have a separate cable modem

No this method will not work for your DSL Modem with Router Built In.

Your DSL Modem is unique and the Serial# is registered with your provider and in order for your DSL modem to work then it must stay the same.

Get them separately and follow my guide along with Orion's advice.
Also make sure you have a Dynamic IP and NOT a Static IP.

Simple googling solve my problem before. Anyways here is a video how to change the MAC address to to change your IP address!

Yes, Because everytime I turn off my modem, and turn on again, it gives me different ip.

And Now the biggest issue that i have is :
1. If I want to create multiple Account for rotation selling, Is it better that I keep the same ip with each account or is it okay if I keep log in from different ip, by keep unplug/plug my modem (like dial up process), can they be linked by that way?

2. I want to purchase Belkin DSL Modem with Linksys Router, Can it also works? Or can I use Belkin Modem with Router Built in Or Linksys Modem with Router Built in For Mac Address cloning?

3. Last time when My friends Account get suspended, My account get suspended as well for reason "Related", he always log in via his laptop, and me via my desktop, we never log in from any other ip. How can it links together? If ebay really can links us just because we are under same Isp, I am sure by keep changing Ip is useless.

Please leave me reply.

I really hopeless now, have been goggling since last 2 days, never get a clear answer.

THANKS^^ GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU..HAPPY EASTER

I cant really be sure since I am not Australia, but I think you should get a Linksys wireless router. You must change the MAC ID is to a spefic Numeric Code so the IP can stay the same.

Example
Ebay ID goods345 use MAC ID 01:df:32:as:01

Ebay ID goods543 use MAC ID 01:df:32:as:02

Just changing the last digit changes the IP address. Switch it back and you'll have the same ip

Yes if you change the router mac you will get a new ip. There isn't a specific ip set to each router mac so that's why you won't get the same one, plus it only allows you to get available ips.

each mac address directly connected to the modem the isp sees at it as a new device on their system. each device gets a new and unique ip address. so you can have hundreds of ip's at your disposal by changing the mac address using any combination of numbers 0 thru 9 and letters a thru f on those last two pairs of numbers on the mac address.

this works great on my netgear router with time warner cable. adjust the mac and I can have a new ip or re-aquire an old one. wow, now on to the next level of stealth and unlimited accounts. thanks!!!

Works perfect on Netgear with Virgin bb, thank you op

So is what is the more important benefit here?

To get multiple ips or the fact that you can get the same ip again? Or BOTH?

Further, is it better (in ebay's eyes) to sign on looking like you have a static ip (retaining your ip thru mac addy changes) or a dynamic ip (like most cabe/dsl users)?

Thanks again...

Both features are a big benefit. Being able to change your ip for each account is necessary. Also, being able to return back the your accounts original IP would not raise any flags.

too bad, i can't find "changing mac address menu" in my router :(
my ip keep changing if i restart my modem, how can i get same ip for certaint ebay account..

you have to have a router that supports cloneing mac address or other words mac spoofing. Alot of old routers dont have this opiton as well as some cheap branded routers. I would say get u a linksys router it works great for this and very simple to do.

how can i get linksys router, i get my own default (router) setting from my isp. Should i begg to my ISP please change to linksys... another question, is mac spoofing legal to do?
thanks i so appreciate this guide..

u can buy them on ebay just do a search for them u can use any router u want u dont have to use the one ur isp gives u. and yes its leagal to do theres nothing illegal about changeing a ip address

sorry nob question
is Linksys router support ADSL modem?
what type / series i should get?

O your useing adsl? yeah linksys works on both cable and adsl but i have no idea how to clone macs on adsl and if it even works the same way as cable internet.

yes i have adsl with dinamic IP, im fraid ebay will raise my flag if i always change ip for 1 acc. But my friend say ebay will not raise my flag because IP has teritorial range and my ip just change at last block number.

when I type in my number 192.168.1.102 I get the message "Internet Explorer can not open this page" what am I doing wrong?

192.168.1.1

where did the 102 come from?

ANY1 KNOW HOW TO DO THIS UNDER A d-lINK ROUETER?
