Update of dynamic WAN IP |
|
|
Sorry if this is in the wrong area, but I'm not exactly sure where to
post this question. I'm working on a Web site script that captures IP
addresses of visitors and pipes them into a custom database, and would
like to test it using my own connection.
I have DSL on a Westell Wirespeed, and was wondering if there was an
easy way to change the WAN IP address via a command like netsh or
similar. I can do a reset via the firmware, and it will force my ISP
to assign a new dynamic address, but that's rather inconvenient to do.
I'd ideally like to have a command (or perhaps a batch file, if
necessary) to do it quickly instead of having to load a browser, hit
localhost, and do a connection restart manually.
Can anybody suggest a quick way to accomplish this? Being able to
quickly pull a new IP address would enable me to thoroughly test the
script I'm working on and see real IP addresses coming in. Thanks for
any ideas. |

Use proxies. There are hundreds of them available, and
even software to help build lists of free ones that are
currently up and running..

This sounds like a bass-ackwards way to test things. Better perhaps to
enlist the aid of others on actual remote machines instead of diddling
around with your own link's addressing. Since your ISP is assigning address
to you it's a BAD IDEA to think you can just reassign new ones at will.
You'll run the risk of stepping on an address they've already got setup.
That and you'll probably screw up the routing tables feeding your
connection.
