Noob changing IP address help?
 

I'd like to try to change my IP address, and the set up I have is a main PC which is connected to a VirginMedia (Netgear) 'router'.
I also have 2 laptops connected wirelessly.

I've logged into the router, and here on the cable forum it says something about changing the Mac address? but being a noob not sure how, and don't want to mess up my connection.
Here is a shot of the 'mac' section. which bit should i be changing?

You can't change your VM IP address.

Also why do you want to change it?

Re: Noob changing IP address help?
 

You should be able to if you change the mac address.

Probably because he's been annoying somebody on a forum and wants to go back and annoy them some more :)

I thought it was illegal to change a mac address?

Re: Noob changing IP address help?
 

It is not possible to change the MAC address on the Superhub and if you actually managed to do so then you would lose your connecyion and also be in breach of the Terms and Conditions of his contract.

i think he meant change the mac address of the device connected to the modem, i.e. plus your pc in direct instead of using a modem

It's for the purpose of printing coupons.

I just wondered if i had any way of doing this, as i've tried unplugging the power to the router overnight (didn't work), and I tried typing 'ipconfig /release' into start>run, but it just said "The requested operation requires elevation".? (these are just suggestions I found online).

Re: Noob changing IP address help?
 

It does not work like that with the hubs.

Requires elevation sounds like they are not logged in as the administrator.

But there's only one user account on this PC.

Re: Noob changing IP address help?
 

Why do you want to change it just to print something??

Re: Noob changing IP address help?
 

didnt realist it was a hub, my bad

Re: Noob changing IP address help?

Re: Noob changing IP address help?
 

I suspect he has already printed one set of vouchers, and the company offering them is limiting them to one set per IP...

Re: Noob changing IP address help?
 

So does anyone know if it can be changed?

You cannot change the MAC address of the Superhub or the standard hub, if it was possible you would lose your connection and be in breach of Virginmedia's Terms and Conditions.

That will not work with any of our hubs as they do not use your equipments MAC address but a good find anyway.
