No problem. What I do is use Hyperterminal Private edition v6.3 from Hilgrave. Good thing about this telnet software is that you can cut n paste your commands from a word doc with ease.

Kick start the software and connect via the ip address of the router. Log in under the SuperUser account and you then are greeted by the command prompt.

From here I just cut n paste the following commands, you can do it one by one or as I do the whole thing from first line to saveall. (x = your chosen hex digits)

ip iflist
ip ifdetach intf=O2_ADSL2plus
ip ifconfig intf=O2_ADSL2plus hwaddr=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
ip ifattach intf=O2_ADSL2plus
saveall

to change back you just start all over again using another set of the above commands with your original mac address inserted after HWADDR=.

I take you can find your current ADSL port mac address ok.

I also keep a copy of this script in the same spreadsheet for when I am recording the Ips I have been assigned and what accounts have used them etc

for people on o2 payandgo dongle try these settings

Profile name - Anything you want

A.P.N Settings leave dynamic (blank) - not put payandgo.o2.co.uk

User name : faster - not payandgo
password - password

leave the access number the same .

Once you have done that connect with your connection manager, once connected, disconnect and then reconnect and and start browsing

you will have faster Internet

It will change itself when you disconnect it and connect again.
However my experience with O2 is not good!

I use Three (3 mobile) which is the best!!!
T-mobile also great, vodafone good enough!
I will try orange as soon as I get hold of a dongle or a sim.

I now have 6 laptops with one dongle each pemenantly switched on, and 3 tower computers for more comfort one with a dongle and 2 sharing my O2 broadband. I use a KMV, so the 2 towers share 1 monitor mouse and keyboard, and I change the IP depending which one I use.

It costs a lot but it makes my life easy and I make a lot more money now than I did before .

You can use one computer with different users, that's fine as long as you change your IP.

But the few seconds it takes to change IP become annoying if you do it a lot, like I do. So I pay my £15/ month per dongle and believe me if you have a lot of accounts its well worth it.

I only paid around £100 to £150 for each laptop (used), and they are all quite good machines, dual core processors with 2GB RAM.
The batteries are knackered but I don't need them portable.

Next plan now is to get this:
TP-Link TL-SF1016D 16 Port Switch 10/100 Network
and connect them all to a RAID configured tower, so I only have one central secure storage for my records. The USB stick I use now drive me crazy , and I fear it will blow up one day and I will loose everything!

With a dongle will this alert e ba y or P P if you log in with different IP every time? is those IP shared? Means some bad used had logged in before.

Thanks

P.S.
VPN is not a good choice I used that for 2 moths, two Verified P P limited.

I may actually be able to help here for once.

Many BT wireless broadband customers may be unaware of this but BT allows people to piggyback on their customer's routers.

If you look at your available wireless networks you may see BTFON or BT OPENZONE. By connecting to these you can purchase internet time - either 1 hour, 1 day or 5 days. This will be a different IP address I'd imagine.

If your on BT you can go into the advanced part of you router setting you can change back and forth to switch between IP range.

Right o.k

i can see it all the time but i cannot connect, i joined bt a couple of moths ago and asked what it was all about, i was told it was so if your a bt customer you can connect anywere you can see a signal using my home logon details. maybe you can pay for it like cloud and such but it costs a bomb, if you really stuck just go to mc d's at least its free there.

Yes that is correct - they do offer this service to BT customers but yes it seems a tad pricey.

I have just done the following, disconnected from my wireless provider, connected to the BTFON then booted up Firefox which then sends me straight to...

https://www.btfon.com/getaccess/surfTheWeb

then after creating an account you can buy access. You can actually buy an hours access for £3 paid via SMS which is handy.
