Re: changing my ip adress, very very confused any help?
 

But it is more stable then shared IP block and 1 mac address without controll. In my country people are saying - "Greedy pays twice" (I'm about losing accounts)

My choice is to edit the mac address of the router its easier and faster for me however the following might work and is a “get you home method ” to get you up and running.

If you are using the router to change the mac address to get another IP address and do not require wifi then you do not need to use a router to change the mac address.

If your vm modem is in modem mode and plugged straight into your computer then it will be using the mac address on your computer..

Assuming you are using windows download a mac address editor, change the mac address.
You may have to reboot your computer and then the mac address is changed .

Then reboot the VM modem and you should have a new ip address

suggested steps

open a command box type in getmac and it will tell you your mac address and record it.

Record the current IP address

using the mac address editor change the mac address

turn off pc reboot vm modem

turn on pc

command prompt getmac see if the mac address is changed ?

If it has changed record the new maca address now check Ip address against previous and if its changed you are up and running

Another system you could try is to get a usb to ethernet card adapter. plug the cat 5 cable from your modem into it and then plug to a usb port on your computer reboot all and the usb network adapter has a different mac address and thus you should get a new ip address. These a just a few pounds in cost.

These things are fiddly at first but will get you moving .and the more you study them the more knowledge you get.

Look on Youtube for videos about spoofing y your mac address

Now find the mac address and try to change it. Then check your new IP

Re: changing my ip adress, very very confused any help?
 

If neither of those works, go to your connection settings and find the "hostname". The hostname IP is the IP of your router, and that's the IP you need to use for access. Then you just google the default username/pw for your particular router.

Just my $.02, hope it helps!

If you are not using wifi on your router then you do not need it. simply plug your cat5 cable into your modem in modem mode into your computer network connection. go into a new identity. copy the current mac address and current ip[ address. download https://technitium.com a mac address editor. change the mac addess and save. reboot the computer and then reboot your modem and all being well it should give you a new mac and ip address record the new mac and ip addressees,

This should work for you and free .

when you have sorted your router that will be easier to edit

hello arktech, thankyou for your replies and your help, i do appreciate it a lot.

im just finding it frustrating getting my head around changing my ip adress, something that should be so simple is costing me time and money from ebay :(

regarding your message above. im operating from an apple mac so im wondering if this will work for me?

james guide to change the virgin media ip adress says that he has used the netgear router which is wireless, im wondering if all else fails i will be able to pick one of these up from ebay and change it exactly as the video you posted from youtube.
