Try unplugging your modem for a few hours. Depending on the way your cable company has it set up, the dhcp server may assign you a new ip. You may be able to increase your chances of this occuring by changing your NIC which will change your mac address. Depending on your needs though, a decent proxy may be all you need. Also its worth considering that your IP address is only one of several ways you can be identifed on the net.

I bought ADSL @768KBps down and 128KBps upload. I installed that ***upc program and my speeds are unbelievable!

I used Microsofts speed test at:
http://msn.zdnet.com/partners/msn/bandwidth/speedtest50.htm

The results it showed was:
<center><b>
Your line speed:<br>
<br>
6800 Kbps
833.3 K bytes/sec
</center></b><br>
This is no joke...I swear! I tried refreshing the page about 10 times! About 3 of those times it showed my connection at 900+KBps! The speed shown above is the speed I got the first time I went to the website!
