There's no way that I know of. Your IP address is fundamental to locating your computer on the network. Trying to "fooling" it would only break the communication.

you can use a anonymous proxy to trick the servers into thinking your someone else.

My Pc is connected to a router.
Say my ip address is 165.58.26.12 and the router assigns the ip address 10.0.0.3 to my PC... what Ip address must i use when setting up an ftp server on my PC. (Submask - 255.0.0.0)

how can i manually set my IP address?

A group of IP addresses are assigned to your ISP, it will give you one of it, or they will do something to get one ip address from that group each time you connect to the internet.

If you do some investigations and some look-ups using http://www.ipgp.net , you will see that IP's assigned to each country are someway grouped.

Say I have a business out of Canada that I'm running from the United States.
Is there anyway I can get my IP address in the united states to match my business location in Canada? Any help greatly appreciated.

I was trying to connect to my internet with a Compaq laptop that was given to me. I have Charter High Speed Internet. It will not connect and after the Charter IT person came out to my house, he said that the Compaq laptop that was given to me has a bad IP address. How do I correct a bad IP address in the laptop?

My ISP has given me what they say is a fixed IP address but when I switch off my PC my IP address gets assigned to another PC somewhere else. I don't use a router so can't leave it switched on with the fixed ip address stored in it.
My ISP says "it happens" and I'm "unlucky" to loose my IP address, is this heard of or is there a way around this?

If it can change, you have a dynamic IP address, no matter what your ISP says.
What you want, it seems, is a "static" address.

Thanks,
