Apple Mac IP Address - Assistance Needed

[cartman20]

I have recently received the stealth guide through the post, as I have an Apple Mac which uses Safari, so I could not download it. I have reached Step 2 about IP address changing and I am having some problems. (Already!) I went on to IPBurger and it gave me my IP address as:- 86.***.**.**. I have a BT Broadband wireless connection through a BT Home Hub so I have looked up through PREFERENCES & SETTINGS the Home Hub details, and this now tells me that the Airport is connected to Home Hub and has a IP address of: - 192***.*.**. So I have 2 different IP addresses (I noted that there was also a Ethernet Adapter IP Address ie. 10.**.***.*, so that makes 3!!), so I would guess it is the Home Hub one that I should change?? I presume I have a Dynamic IP Address, but again I am not sure. Could anyone with knowledge of AppleMacs and Safari Browsers please give me the Heads Up? I also noticed on the "Other Internet Providers" page of the stealth guide....... the Legend of - I DO NOT recommend the usage of ANY proxy service. Could someone please explain exactly what is meant by this Statement and in what context it means it?, as when I was checking on a IPaddress changing website it suggested going into Settings and clicking on the Box labelled "use a proxy for this connection" Any Help and Advice would be much appreciated!

The ebook is only for PC Format.

I have reached Step 2 about IP address changing and I am having some problems. (Already!) I went on to IPBurger and it gave me my IP address as:- 86.***.**.**.

This IP is what gets sent out to the web, it's your "public" IP.

I have a BT Broadband wireless connection through a BT Home Hub so I have looked up through PREFERENCES & SETTINGS the Home Hub details, and this now tells me that the Airport is connected to Home Hub and has a IP address of: - 192***.*.**.

This is an internal IP address....This IP does not go out to the web but instead it's assigned to all computers connected to the Hub/Router by the Hub/Router.

So I have 2 different IP addresses (I noted that there was also a Ethernet Adapter IP Address ie. 10.**.***.*, so that makes 3!!)

The ethernet adapter is a Class A IP, it's private and only used internally just like 192.0.0.0... So while you may think you have 3 IP's your only broadcasting 1 IP to the Internet.

so I would guess it is the Home Hub one that I should change??

This would be correct, You need to be able to change the MAC Address on your router/hub. Assuming you have a dynamic IP which would depend on your ISP. Who is your ISP?

I presume I have a Dynamic IP Address, but again I am not sure. Could anyone with knowledge of AppleMacs and Safari Browsers please give me the Heads Up?

Your AppleMac and Safari has nothing to do with changing IP's, you have to be able to change the MAC address on your Hub/Router.

I also noticed on the "Other Internet Providers" page of the stealth guide....... the Legend of - I DO NOT recommend the usage of ANY proxy service. Could someone please explain exactly what is meant by this Statement and in what context it means it?

Proxy Servers are easily detectable by Ebay/Paypal and thus not recommended.

as when I was checking on a IPaddress changing website it suggested going into Settings and clicking on the Box labelled "use a proxy for this connection" Any Help and Advice would be much appreciated!

Again, we don't recommend using a proxy, you have several options:
1. Find a way to change your MAC address
2. Use a Dongle
3. Phone tethering
