External IP Masking from an Internet LAN

MercilessKiller

Hey. Many questions i've seen on masking your IP while browsing online (which I don't agree with as you shouldnt hide your identity to go on sites...)

BUT this is a bit different. I ply a lot of online poker through a client downloaded.

A few flatmates who I don't really know have also started playing on the same site! The problem is you can't have multiple computers from the same IP on the same game thus the problem.

For those who know poker, I'm not colluding, not in pokers nature.. but anyway..

Is there anyway to mask the IP address of a pc internal in a LAN and give it a seperate external IP to the routers?

Tried http tunnelling but to no prevail as thats just ports..

are you all going thru a router?

MercilessKiller

yup.. *do di do makes it 10 characters long*

hmm.i've seen some business dsl packages that have multiple ips. I have no idea how you implememt then on one line. But getting decent speeds business lines cost a bomb.

where did you http tunnel to?

Ask your ISP if you can have some more IP addresses. Probably not economically worthwhiel though, unless you're very good at poker!

Yes I am very good at poker.. though the tournaments i'm talking about won't have massive prize pools. Student ones....

ISP = NTL

ISPs like Zen give you 8 static IP addresses for free. I used them for about 3 years and can't fault them. They have a one-month contract period too so if you don't like them you're not tied in.

Someone may correct me, but I don't think NTL issue multiple IP's to one subscription. You would probably need an additional broadband line/service.

You could always try contacting the site and explaining the situation, they may be able to allow multiple clients from your IP. The more people playing = more money for them, so they'll probably help.
