My braodband is down for 2 days . I came to know that the ip address of my pc is 169.x.x.x , now i am using a cable modem , win xp as the OS on my PC and an usb conenction . I tried to check the ip taking the coax out of the modem and i found 192.x.x.x . ON putting the coax back and resetting the modem the ip address goes down to 169.x.x.x . I do not have an option to get it done via ethernet . I think that it's a case of duplicate mac addresses. Now the point is how can i go ahead and spoof the MAC ADDRESS on the usb port . As far as i am aware of the mac addess on the usb card is infact the mac address of the modem with the last digit being incremented by 1 . HELP.....
cheers,
