How to get a different IP
Pier Paolo
I'm asking if there's a program or method for MacOSX to get a different
IP address while mantaining the current connection.
For instance I got an address like 82.55.x.x, I want to get another
address like 120.23.x.x belonging to another provider, maybe another
country.
Is that possible? How?
TIA.

If you are using 10.4 or newer, it's very easy. First, unplug your DSL
box, cable "modem", or whatever you're using. Second, open a terminal
and type "sudo ifconfig en0 lladdr 00:00:00:00:13:01". Don't use the
quotes, and use whatever made up number you want so long as it follows
the format (six pairs of numbers separated by colons). This is you MAC
address, and what we're doing here is called MAC address spoofing.
Reconnect whatever box you use to hook up to your ISP and wait for it
to boot, and you should then find yourself with a new IP address.
Remember that whenever you reboot your computer, your MAC address
will go back to the original value. More info here, if you

Thanks for reply, but I want to spoof the IP address, not the MAC
address.
Bye.
