Ip Addresses and MAC Addresses?
 

Hi Please bear with me, I have just bought Stealth and am ready to move on, I live in the UK.
Reading through the changing of the IP address I am ok with that. I disconnect my router and I obtain another IP address for my desktop. What I am not clear on is MAC addresses (is this the router info)? Do I need to change this MAC also, is it really necessary as my IP address changes each time I disconnect my router. Help much appreciated.?

Bump? Any help please.

No, MAC addresses are not tracked.

Some discussion as to if Amazon tracks MAC address, but overall the consensuses seems to be that they do not.

EB and PP definitely do not.

No need to change MAC address.
Changing IP is fine.
Keep track of the ip used for each account. Avoid to cross use them.

At the moment EB & AMZ don't look at MAC addresses, but someday they might start doing it.

Every router has its own MAC address. Every computer has its own MAC address. Traditionally, nobody could see past your router to see your computer's MAC address. However, with the new IPV6 standard, some say that it is possible to see past the router and see your computer's MAC address.
