how to change ip address if you hav virgin broadband2go
 

does anyone know how to change the ip address for Virginmobile Broadband2go? it's the one that has a usb modem.

thanks

It's supposed to change every time you sign in to the internet, just set your home page to ipburger.com on your computer, write down the ip, unplug the usb and sign in again, you'll see it will be different.

hey did it come with a cd to install it kind of like a router. is their a way to get into the settings of the usb.. if so I might be able to show you how to spoof the mac address...

did that initially...same thing...
it's giving me an ip address on the west coast, i'm no where near there though..

IP location doesn't matter, but you should get a new ip each time you reconnect. Unplug it for around 30 seconds and plug it back in, then check ipburger.

Whatever ip it gives you is a legitemate ip, your not using vpn.

but it's the same exact ip address...so it's not going to work if i make multiple stealth accounts.

Have you unplugged it for 30 seconds yet????

yeah, i don't mind where the ip location is, but what i can't do is change the ip address..it is giving me the exact same ip address everytime i connect

You need to make sure you're logged off the internet first.

yes...i did

You probably need to reset your network conections, I'm not sure exactly sure how to do that at the moment. It's easier just to use different windows users so you don't have to worry about changing it, each time you login initially it will be different.

I have attemped to help you nobody, unplug it for 30 seconds and plug it back in, then check ip.

hey do you connect by a router try changing the ip on the router then reconnect with the virgin modem mayb that might do it I dunno tho lol

Read the OP. He uses a USB modem.

nobody,
did you notice/read lakeman's attempts to help? YES/NO?

lakemans advice did not work.
if anyone knows how to get the ip changed, let me know.
otherwise, for people that are considering getting this, the ip address looks like it's static.

I wish you have acknowledged that fact. Seemed you were ignoring posts.

I have googled & there is not a lot of info about this mobile. Did you have to instal drivers when you got the usb? Can you give me the range of IP
that you got from ipburger? Have you phoned their service department?

I use my blackberry on 10 windows user accounts, each time I set up the connection with each user it shows different ip but then when I return the ip for each user is the same as when I signed in the first time so its gotta have something to do with resetting your network connections or just do like me and you won't need to, you just switch users to get a new ip.

the usb had all the drivers on there....i don't have the ip info right now...i can get that to you later...i didn't call their service dept. what would i say? like "can i change my ip address"? they would ask questions

i took the usb modem from 1 laptop and connected to another differnt desktop and still get the same ip.

That is weired I never heard of mobile broadband doing that.

So I guess the broadband you're using is different from a smartphones broadband which also connects usb, I haven't had a chance to use those yet.
