Preface:
Sometimes, for whatever the reason, you may want to obtain a new global IP address. Depending on your service provider, these IP addresses could be leased dynamically, which typically change frequently, or statically, which change less often, or if all.  These addresses may be issued by your MAC address.

In my case, my addresses re issued statically, so they are issued depending on what my MAC address of my router is. I began to think of a way that I could change the static address, without doing anything extraordinary. This is what I figured out.

WARNING:

This should be fairly straigh forward and easy, but like with doing anything under the hood, you could mess something up or lose access to the internet. Proceed at your own risk. I take no responsibility for any damage you may incur.

Step 1
Write down your current IP address. Unplug your modems power. Set the cord to the side, do not reconnect at yet.

Step 2
Log in to your routers administrative interface with your favorite browser. In my case it was set to http://192.168.1.1 (This will change depending on the setup of your router. You should consult the user manual, manufacturer’s website, or in some cases the backside or bottom of the router for the correct address.) You should also be sure to have your admin username and password handy.

Step 3
Look for an option to clone your MAC address, and select it. Look on the back/bottom of your router for your MAC address and either enter is into the boxes, or hit clone. Keep in mind that if you select clone it may take the address from one of the wired computers, and not the router.

Step 4
Now that you have your MAC address in the clone boxes, change one letter or number. By doing this you are more or less spoofing your MAC address.

Step 5
Reboot your router. Once the router has fully powered on, reconnected the power to your modem. Check your IP address again and see if it has changed. If it did, Congratulations, you just changed your IP address, browse to all the IP blocked sites you want

Recently I was setting up Boot Camp on my old white Macbook.  I decided to use a fresh copy of Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit.

The install went fine and as Apple suggested, I copied over the windows support files. Awesome. I opened the folder and selected the setup file, and was immediately given the message:
“Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model”

This had to be a mistake. This model clearly supports 64-Bit. It’s a core 2 duo processor… and I already installed the operating system.

So I did a little digging, and ended up in “Drivers\Apple” looking at a file called BootCamp64.msi. I double clicked it, and was prompted that I needed elevated permissions to continue, and should run setup.exe. This is great advice had I not already tried that. I did find a solution to this problem.

1. Copy the “WindowsSupport” folder directly to the “c:\” drive.

2. Select Start and in the Run box type “cmd” on the “cmd.exe” icon that show up, right click and select “Run as Administrator”

3. In the run box type “cd C:\WindowsSupport\Drivers\Apple” and hit enter.

4. Type “BootCamp64.msi”

From here the installer will launch, and you MAC will now support 64-Bit drivers.

Follow the prompts and reboot as necessary.

TLDR:

Run command prompt as administrator. Browse to /Drivers/Apple folder. Run BootCamp.msi
