Re: chaging your @home IP address... could you take a bunch of them....probably... could you get something from it...maybe

ps, I tested this on my friends BSD box that's hooked up to his cable.
Uploads to the same IP were at 8 KBytes and 2-3Kbytes from 2 sources,
uploads to 2 different IPs on the same box both went at 10K which means it
seems to work...
