PROVEN way to change IP!!
 

:ninja:OK guys! I have found a great way to change your IP.

First, my purpose here is to help people get back onto eBay for the purpose of selling again. Not for doing anything shady.
I assume(which might not be smart) that everyone here just wants to get back onto eBay to start selling again and conducts their business professionally and ethically.

OK. Now that I signed everyones waiver. Here ya go.

Most ISPs give a dynamic IP. Even though it won't change with a release and renew, it is dynamic.

Here is why. For example, Comc@st gives you an IP right? Well did you know that it is only issued for a week? Thats right!

AS an example, my IP license ends tomorrow at around 9:30AM, then starts again for a week and ends again in a week. This goes on Ad infinitum.

One theory is if you unplug your cable modem the night before the IP ends and leave it off, and then maybe wait an hour or two after, you get a new IP.

OK? that is an untried theory which I haven't tried but if you go into your ipconfig,(Just type that into the run command which you can find from your start menu)you will see your IPs release date. At least this is the case with Comc@st.

I am just giving you some background and understanding as to why its really a dynamic address.

OK? now the meat of this topic.

You need one piece of software called. SMAC 2.0. It costs 20$. A small price to pay as you will soon see. You can download the trial version with a one time usage.

This software is in PC worlds top 100 software and is pretty well known. Major corporations use SMAC all the time.

What it does is change your NICs or should I say spoofs your NICs MAC address.

Here is what I did.

I used this software to spoof my NICs Mac address which it did and then unplugged the coaxial from my modem for about an hour and a half. Don't worry about the time as I unplugged it over dinner.

I now have a different IP. I even did a release renew and still had the new IP.

And it is a completely different IP. Not even close to my earlier one.

SO there you go!

I'm in Calif visiting for a week, so I can't actually try this out right now.

I did find a torrent if anyone wants to give the software a shot...

Demonoid.com - SMAC 2.0 Professional Edition (Keygen Included)

And you said this works for you?

I usually don't have a problem with changing my IP address.. but it could come in handy when my modem is being a pain and doesn't want to change for me.. thanks.

Isnt that basicly changing the mac address on a router also? Also I did not know the ip changes on comcast every week. I will try your experiment and post some results. I got comcast too!

My method is FREE and EASIER. Its in the Tracking section. This is a good suggestion though.

There is also a FREEWARE MAC Address changer here

Technitium MAC Address Changer v5 (FREEWARE)

2600 reading has its advantages :)

It doesn't change it reissues which was a point I was making about it being a dynamic address.

Yes it is. But this does it even if someone is not using a router. It spoofs it from the card in the computer.

The other thing is it is a one click action which makes it easy for people who don't have a lot of experience changing their IP. Well actually 3 clicks of the mouse.

Here is an example of my IP change. Not the real numbers.

From 94.216.129.154 to 25.50.224.131 Completely different.

Like putting a brand new NIC in my computer.

Didn't know about the free one. I would suggest everyone trying the free one first. Free is always better.

I did download the torrent for SMAC 2.0

I played around with it for about an hour and it easily spoofs the MAC address. But my IP address is not changing. Maybe because I'm on a wireless network? I haven't tried it yet connected directly to the modem/router yet.

Quick Note: If you download the torrent and use the SMAC 2.0 software, be sure and right click the desktop icon and run as administrator or the program will not work.

Ah okay, its been a while since I used this method ^^. Works great I know for a fact. BUT!!!!!

Make sure you copy ALL your ip's.

Hello,

I currently have a workaround using my cell phone, but has anyone had any experience changing an IP on AT&T U-Verse system. I've been told that I have a "sticky" IP assigned by the MAC address of the AT&T gateway. From all the info I've gathered, the only way to change it is to get new gateway from AT&T or to place a service call.

You have to be directly connected to a modem for it to work... else you're working off your router's mac address.

I use this method:
