How can I get multiple IP addresses for my computer?

I frequently purchase tickets on Ticketmaster, and often use two browsers and search multiple times to try to find the tickets that I want. I just got booted AGAIN, and I was wondering if there was a way to disguise my IP address or somehow use multiple addresses to prevent getting booted.

I am not using any kind of special software to illegally purchase tickets. It's just me, and my one computer with IE and Netscape open.

I've tried using Anonymizer, however I run into problems (errors) when searching for tickets. I'm really hoping to find something that will give me multiple IP addresses that will allow me to search without getting booted off.

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

You are assigned only one public IP address from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). The only way to get more, is to request additional IP addresses from your ISP. There will definitely be an additional monthly fee for this.



Your current address is a random address assigned from a pool of addresses owned by your ISP. They use a DHCP server to assign the address. The address is negotiated from the DHCP server when your PC or cable modem connects to the Internet. Depending on the setup of the DHCP server, you may or may not get a different address each time. This depends on settings on the DHCP server on how often new addresses are assigned.



If you purchase an additional address, it would most likely, but not always, be a static address. A static address would always be the same address.



With Windows 2000 and newer, you can assign multiple addresses to a single network card. Most routers also have this capability.

If you are doing this from your home you will have a problem getting two IP's as most likely you will have a single connection to the internet. The IP address is actually established by your modem, and not your PC. You can have multiple IP adresses behind the modem, and still only one IP address talks to the rest of the world.

each and every computing gadget on a community has to have this is own IP handle so as that site visitors over the community could be routed to it. So the desktops on your residing house have distinctive IP addresses. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that this is probable that like maximum residing house networks you have your router setup to do NAT. this means that as quickly as you hook up with a distinctive computing gadget over the information superhighway the source IP handle used would be that of the router and not the guy computing gadget. So from the standpoint of the the remainder of the information superhighway it is going to look which you're applying only one IP handle - the only assigned on your router. while site visitors is sent to you the router will study it and choose which of the non-public IP addresses (the desktops on your residing house community) to forward the suggestions to. As for discovering someones IP handle in case you have the call of their computing gadget you're able to do a DNS examine (a seek will discover lots of information superhighway techniques to do it for you). yet in any different case to discover someones IP handle is to look on the headers of any mail sent to you - it is going to commonly supply some indication of the place it starts off.

The only way I know of that will get your multible IPs, is having multible network adapters, that is if I read your question right.



If you are wanting to change your IP, then you will need to reboot the computer, or the cable modem. This will obtain a new IP address for your device.

This is what I do to have 3 different IPs.

I have 2 different routers, each with their own broadcast IP.

Then of course you can bypass everything and plug your NIC cord directly into your Ethernet card and this gives you yet another different IP.

Of course you can't run all of them at the same time, you have to use them one at a time and plug and unplug them to change IPs.

If you want to have a different IP for each new internet connection, you can use TOR. it will apply a new IP for each new connection. it's also free software!! it dosen't make any problem also.....
