Depends upon where you are, your rights. In the US, ISPs are required
by law to know your IP and to have records of the IP assigned to you and
when you used them. There is a legal debate in court as to the legal
method to require ISP to surrender this information to third parties,
but not a debate about the fact that they have to when a proper writ is
issued. This is not the place to be debating lawyer stuff that has
little bearing upon your rights. BTW, you can change your NIC's mac
address at any time you wish and when you wish to go thru your ISP
enrollment process, if any. Your ISP has said (and you've repeated
without understanding: "install a new NIC") that will cause a different
IP to be assigned to you. Do it and save yourself a lot of telephone
hassle vis your ISP. The question of how the ISP assigns IP to you is
bogus. You have no need to know or care as it does not affect your
rights or security. The only thing that affects your rights beyond the
common & statute law rights is your ISP service agreement contract.
Read it.
Why is this thread being posted to Linux and OS/2 newsgroups? The only
question of How-to change your NIC's mac address would be proper in
these newsgroups, not everything else that has gone on in this thread
previously. Start a new thread if you wish to ask that question as most
who would know how, have killed this thread already. And don't
cross-post to those alt newsgroups!
