Ummm. Why? You looking at doing something illegal?

One solution would be to use a proxy server.

No no , not at all. It's just a game myself and my missus play online. We both used to be able to play it in different rooms on different pc's at the same time, but recently for some reason it won't allow 2 players from the same IP to be online at one time anymore

: .

I don't realy want to have to run a server just to mask my IP, there used to be heaps of free small programs out for 98', ME , and XP a few years back - I still can't find one for vista or that will work with vista though.

Running something locally on your PC will probably mask the IP address of your PC, but not the one of the WAN address that your broadband (or dial-up) uses.
Set one computer to use a proxy as the default gateway and that might help. There are plenty of free on-line ones that you can use.

I'd have to concur with Doofey. Internal to your network your last hop before the internet is likely a router, every packet you send out, regardless of how many machines you have in your internal network will have the same WWN and IP. Any app you install to try and mask your IP will only mask it within your subnet.

I used to run a virtual machine that I used as a proxy that, if I routed through, would make me totally anonymous (which isn't what you're actually going for). It apparently used a matrix of proxies that would spoof your IP but at the (massive) cost of performance. It would likely make gaming impossible.

An external proxy would likely achieve what you're looking for. Never used a public one but Google is your friend.

Or ask your ISP to route several addresses to your router and SNAT each internal host individually.

Telstra will do it with BB/TID as will many of the others but probably not on the unlimited $19.95 povvo plans.
