			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently a lot of issues have turned up with my ISP provider, Reliance Communications in this case. I happen to use multiple laptops and a router. They lock a system based on MAC address or a long duration dhcp lease file. There are various ways to get rid of this situation. A few which I could figure out and seem to work are</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">&#8211; Do neatly logout of their web application, before switching machines. As they keep the records, which would not let you login using a different machine till a session timeout which ranges from 0.5 to 6 hours.</span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">&#8211; Spoof Your MAC Address, if you are using multiple laptops/desktops</span></p>
<p>use<strong> ifconfig</strong> utility:</p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">MAC address can be changed very easily using <em>ifconfig</em>. Run the following command as root user.</span></p>
<p>#<em><strong>ifconfig eth0 down hw ether address</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>eth0</strong></em> is the name of the interface/NIC which address is to be changed.</p>
<p><em><strong>down</strong></em> means the NIC is to be shutdown before changing address.</p>
<p><em><strong>hw ether </strong></em>means hardware address class is ether(which indicates ethernet).</p>
<p><em><strong>address</strong></em> is the address which will used as the new mac.</p>
<p>After the successful execution of the command. start the NIC again using the command:</p>
<p><em><strong># /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up</strong></em></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">&#8211; Release your IP after successful log out</span></p>
<p><em><strong># dhclient -r -pf  &lt; path to the current dhclient pid file &gt; </strong></em></p>
<p>The path of current dhclient pid file can be found using</p>
<p><strong><em># ps -eaf  | grep dhclient </em></strong></p>
<p>Path is usually /var/run/dhclient-eth0.pid or /var/run/dhclient-wlan0.pid</p>
<p><em><strong><br />
</strong></em></p>
<p><strong><em><br />
</em></strong></p>
