Changing IP using old MacOS on a Sun network...

<< < (2/2)

voidmain:
Is that 192.168.*.* or some other number in the second position?  If it's 192.168.*.* then I would have to say that is impossible.  Those addresses are not publically routable.  If it's another number like 192.120.*.* then that is a valid routable internet address.  However, if your "real" IP address is in the range of the non-routable addresses (192.168.*.*, 10.*.*.*, or 172.16.*.*) then yes, your entire network would be blocked if they blocked that one public address.  If the real address matches the address seen on the remote end, then you could change your address and bypass their block (assuming they didn't block your entire network range).

voidmain:
Likewise, if you have to go through a proxy to get to the internet then changing your local IP will not help.  Another way around it is to point your browser to a proxy server somewhere out on the internet.  I believe there are free ones out there.  I wouldn't know because I have several of my own proxy servers out on the internet that I use...
