Hi everyone - I use an Internet service that only allows me to have
once session open. When I try to logon using my other computer it
says, "There is already an open session at the IP address ".

Is there anyway to "spoof" an ip address though I only have one IP so
the service thinks a login is coming from two seperate IP addresses?

If this is possible, how is it done?

Thanks in advance!

Let me be more clear - I use verizon and get on IP from Verizon. It
have a Netgear wireless router and use two PCs which connect to the
net.

I use a web application that allows multiple logins but NOT from the
same IP.

I'd like to setup both computers and connect to this web application/
service at the same time. Therefore, I'm trying to figure out a way to
make it seem like the logins are coming from two different IP
addresses.

Thanks,
TCM

Ok, wait.  This may nullify my last post.  If the problem is due to a "web
application" that doesn't allow multiple connections from the same IP# then
you are just flat totally screwed.  You can't create a "fake" IP# because
the application cannot response to the fake IP# and have the response
somehow find it's way back to you.

You only hope is to use some kind of "public proxy" for just one of the two
machines.  Then it will show comming from the IP of the public proxy. I have
no specific information on public proxys, you'll have to find that out on
your own or maybe one of the other guys here may have information.

By the way, it is a very bad design for a web application to have this kind
of restriction.  Pretty much everybody works from behind a firewall or
proxy, so there are millions of IP#s hidden behind other IP#s using
firewalls and proxys.  This is a rediculas restriction. If they botched it
in this area, they probably botched it in other areas as well.

I am assuming with this being Verizon that you mean Verizon Wireless which
is a cell-phone based wireless Internet access system.  If this is not true
than you have to make that clear. Sorry, you just can't leave these details
up to our imaginations.

Then you really are not using the wireless "router",...all you are doing is
using at most is the Access Point that is built into the router which won't
get you anywhere.

In order to use the Verizon Wireless internet you need a special model of
wireless router. Linksys only makes one that I know of and it may be "wired
only". The Verizon wireless cell-phone card inserts directly into a special
slot on the "router" and it is the "router" that makes the actual connection
to Verizon.  The PCs then connect (either wired or wireless) behind the
"router" and are invisible to Verizon and are not seen.  Verizon only sees
the "router" and nothing else.
