Change IP address of your computer in few steps

Click on "Start" in the bottom left hand corner of screen.
Click on "Run".
Type in "command" and hit ok.

Now the MS-DOS prompt screen will appear in your window.

Type "ipconfig" after the prompt and hit "enter".
(If you have an IP address already for your computer, it will list the IP address)
Type "exit" and come out of the MS-DOS prompt screen.

Right-click on "Network Places" or "My Network Places" on your desktop.
Click on "properties".

You should now be on a screen with something titled "Local Area Connection".

Right click on "Local Area Connection" and click "properties".
Double-click on the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" from the list under the "General" tab.

Click on "Use the following IP address" under the "General" tab.
Now you are ready to create an IP address. (fill in the area with the IP address that you need)
Press "Tab" and it should automatically fill in the "Subnet Mask" section with default numbers.
Hit the "Ok" button here.
Hit the "Ok" button again.

You should now be back to the "Local Area Connection" screen.

Right-click back on "Local Area Connection" and go to properties again.
Go back to the "TCP/IP" settings.
This time, select "Obtain an IP address automatically".

Hit "Ok".
Hit "Ok" again.
You now have a new IP address for your computer.

Pls Note:

This only changes your dynamic IP address, not your ISP/IP address.
If you plan on hacking a website with this trick be extremely careful, because if they try a little, they can trace it back.

Changing the MAC address of your computer...

In Linux :

1) Bring down the interface: "ifconfig eth0 down"

2) Enter new MAC address: "ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:00:00:AA:AA:AA"

3) Bring up the interface: "ifconfig eth0 up"


In Windows 2000/XP :

Method 1:

This is depending on the type of Network Interface Card (NIC) you have. If you have a card that doesn’t support Clone MAC address, then you have to go to second method.

a) Go to Start->Settings->Control Panel and double click on Network and Dial-up Connections.

b) Right click on the NIC you want to change the MAC address and click on properties.

c) Under "General" tab, click on the "Configure" button

d) Click on "Advanced" tab

e) Under "Property section", you should see an item called "Network Address" or "Locally Administered Address", click on it.

f) On the right side, under "Value", type in the New MAC address you want to assign to your NIC. Usually this value is entered without the "-" between the MAC address numbers.

g) Goto command prompt and type in "ipconfig /all" or "net config rdr" to verify the changes. If the changes are not materialized, then use the second method.

h) If successful, reboot your system.

Method 2:

This should work on all Windows 2000/XP systems

a) Go to Start -> Run, type "regedt32" to start registry editor. Do not use "Regedit".

b) Go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}". Double click on it to expand the tree. The subkeys are 4-digit numbers, which represent particular network adapters. You should see it starts with 0000, then 0001, 0002, 0003 and so on.

c) Find the interface you want by searching for the proper "DriverDesc" key.

d) Edit, or add, the string key "NetworkAddress" (has the data type "REG_SZ") to contain the new MAC address.

e) Disable then re-enable the network interface that you changed (or reboot the system).

Method 3:

Use the program Etherchange from http://ntsecurity.nu/toolbox/etherchange/

In Windows 9x :

Use the same method as Windows 2000/XP except for the registry key location is "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Net" and you must reboot your system.
