Question:
I have 3 computers, each needs a completely different and unrelated IP address AND Mac address. HELP!?

I have 3 computers, each is running a different Ebay account. Ebay installs spy software on your computer to check your mac address. They also check your IP address to see if you have multiple accounts. How do I set up an internet connection so each computer will have a different IP address AND MAC address? If I get dynamic DSL, is there a way I can use 3 DSL modems and connect the DSL line to whichever I need to use? What company offers this kind of service and what package do I need?
Thanks!

once again.....if you have 3 PC'S, each one will already have their own IP and MAC addresses....those are their unique identities on the net so they can be recognized from all the rest of the PC's on the net

as first poster said-correct. now my question is this? why do you need diff. IP & mac address's???if it so you can bid against your own auctions to raise the selling price, then F.U. I have delt with sellers like you. and you will get caught every time.and if it is all for another reason such as more than one person using the PC and having an ebay account, then you dont need this. as I have 2 accounts set up. 1=selling 1- buying. I dont like my money going into the same account as they (ebay) have a set limit on with drawels and deposits. this way I avoid some of this. BUT-Ebay knows I have 2 accounts, now if your reasoning for this is to decieve Ebay, it wont work. as all accounts need a bank account to be valid.hope this clears up some of this for you.

IPs are completely unrelated except for the device to which they are connected. It seems like it would be easier to stop ebay from installing spyware an cookies. Why not use a secure proxy service?

A mac address is assigned to the LAN hardware and each computer is assigned its own IP from the router.



You could install mysql and be able to setup each as its own server with dynamic IP's

Don't ask me how. I did it a few years ago and it was a headache.
