Changing hard IP?

[no_Wedge]

is it possible to change or cover up completely your hardwares actual IP address from not just web site, but from all programs?

what do you mean by programs?
programs run at the Application layer and have nothing to do with networking......

 

[no_Wedge]

I mean like programs that check for the real IP of a computer

a good example would be punkbuster

 

[peterhuang913]

No you cant. The IP is given by your ISP and if you'll done something bad to Punkbuster, then too bad.

 

[CntdwnToExtn]

anonymous proxy i think would be your best bet

Ehh the REAL IP, the one that never actualy changes on a WAN port??? The MAC addy???.... You can't change that actualy...

I had a friend whose MAC IP addy completely disappeared. even the ISP couldn't detect anything, and I think it even went so far as to confuse the ISP's so he didn't have one there either *course, this happened due to an exceptionally LARGE virus proliferation!*
