Dongle
 

Hi everyone,
I read the E-Bay Stealth book.
I also just read it again slowly.
I am new here guys, so please don't jump all over me.
I have done my homework and now I have an honest question for this forum.

I mean, this is what the forum membership is for, right?
To be able to ask questions- then get answers from people who have more knowledge than you in that particular area, Right?

I'm not trying to be abrasive, I love this forum and the people here are brilliant and innovative....
But I just want to be able to ask a question and not have a million negative responses like, (go read the book) -with no answers. ( Just being honest) ;)

So here goes..
I am setting up a new account and I really want to do everything perfect this time.
I went as far as buying a new camera with a new card.

When it comes to tracking cookies and flash objects, I got that licked..
(Just open a different user account on my laptop and ONLY use it for that one E-Bay and PP account), Right? -No Problem.

HOWEVER,
I am having a hard time developing a system to change my IP address..

My situation is, I am disabled and live with in-laws.
I have tried shutting down the modem, but

-the 1ST problem is,- it shuts down the whole house.. All the televisions and everything. (We have ATT wireless broadband and it is all connected),,

2ND problem,- It doesn't change the IP address. I cross-referenced with IP Burger and it is not working.

I'm not sure what I a missing.. I'll go read the book again, but
I've come to the conclusion that I simply can't mess with the modem nor call the service provider here...
The reason is, my in-laws are "old fashioned" and they get really "weird" when I touch anything of theirs.
If I was to shut down the modem every time I needed to get on E-Bay - they would have a"coniption". :eek:

I could try a VPN right? But then I'm a afraid I will have to mess with the modem and the wires and such.. ( Can't do that)..
Can't get a dial up...
My questions are as followed.. What the hell do I do? And what is "Dongle" - how does it work?
Also what is the difference between static and dynamic IP addresses.. Why does the Virtual IP service provider's on the (e-bay accounts that are for sale) here only use a "static' IP? - Is a static IP not a good idea?
Thanks in Advanced..
