Go get a sprint mifi device or verizon mifi also called a mobile hotspot. Every time you turn it off and on (basically rebooting it) it will get a new ip address it reboots fast too. The speeds are a lot faster than dial up. When you do a ip check online it also says its a dial up line. The speed is just a hair slower than road runner in my area imo. Yeah its $59 a month but after using it I would pay that bill before the water bill if I had too. You can give it a shot and if you don't like it sprint and or best buy will refund you completely.

I got tired of paying $20 a month for a phone line and then $12 a month for dial up service with netzero....to set there and dial in and out everytime I signed out of user names on my computer.

I have a Sprint overdrive mifi. To understand the process (newbie ?): After I set up a VM, can I just reboot each time I connect to Amazon, to get a different IP address? Thanks

First of all do you have a router hook to your cable modem? If so you need to chnage the mac address on the router via the console, release the ip and reboot the cable modem. once it comes back on line renew the ip on the router. You cable modem will asign you a new ip since the mac address has changed.

If you are conect directly to you cable modem (no router) then change the mac address on the wired/wireless adaptor which ever you use on your computer and release ip and bounce the cable modem, and again once on line renew your ip on your computer.

so as you can see it all depends on how you are setup. I flip ip on 13 accounts all the time, keeping track of your ip's......

or just buy, or add a new router, set it up, and you should get a new ip.
