Best way to change IP address with TW, Arris modem, and Apple Airport?
 

Hi

I've been reading the steps on getting a new IP address in the stealth book, but trying the change the MAC address (I can't even attempt to change it because I can't edit it) and leaving the modem off for a day doesn't seem to work. My ISP is Time Warner, I use an Arris modem, and use an Apple Airport Extreme router. Does anyone have any tips on how I should go about getting a new IP address?

Thanks.

if you have Time Warner hook up a linyx router to your set up and you can then go in and manually change your ip address.

Apple is one of the hardest routers to modify the MAC Address. All others, such as Linksys, Belkin, Netgear are fairly straight forward on their web gui...but Apple makes it tougher.

You would need to open up a terminal window and spoof the ethernet adapter or wifi card mac address. Your goal is to just do mac address cloning.

Honestly, I would suggest a different router that would make things easier on you.

I also have an Arris modem (with Comcast) and I use Netgear's N600 router. I modify the mac in the n600 router gui page and I'm able to retain IP addresses very easily.
