As people with a lot of Symantec/Norton experience might know, a computer virus itself is often not dangerous at all. are slowing down my internet and computer speed, engaging my protections softare, etc. What bothers me is that their flood of port sniffing, pings, etc. I don't fear that anyone can successfully hack into my computer by sniffing out my ports (although that used to be possible and has happened to me). I've had the Motorola for 2 weeks and it hasn't dropped the connection yet! Incidentally, the SMC modem I used to have for wideband dropped the connection daily and sometimes wouldn't come back for hours.

However, even though you CAN enter a mac address on the Motorola, I haven't yet gotten it to give me a different IP address. You cannot enter a mac address with an SMC modem. how do I get the mac spoofing to work with the Motorola modem itself? I would love to eliminate my Linksys router from the setup entirely. Anyway, the mac spoofing on the modem doesn't seem to have any effect on the ip address, so I'm forced to put the modem into bridge mode and use my own router to do the mac spoofing which does work.

I need to spoof my mac address to alter my ip address because I go on the irc and get attacked by bots that attempt to sniff out open ports on my computer.

On the setup page of that modem which you get to with 192.168.0.1 admin motorola, if you click on the BASIC setup, it allows you to enter a spoofed mac address.

I upgraded from broadband (20m speed) to wideband (40m speed) several months ago.
