Me and my brother both share a wireless network on our laptops from a Linksys Wireless router. When we go to play eachother on partypoker.com it doesnt let us due to the fact it says we share the same ip address. I was wondering if it was possible to get around this by somehow changing one of our ip addresses or masking it so the server would not be able to detect we are from the same network. I think i was able to player on the same network with another computer at my school dont know why that is but any help would be greatly appreciated..

If it's done via HTTP, configure one of your two computers to use a free proxy server.

I suspect they consider that cheating. Get 2-3 friends together at your house, find some sucker out there to join the "game" with you, and clean him out.

If you want to play poker with your brother, in the same house with you, dig out a deck of cards.

ummm...if i wanted to do that i would get him to go on dial up then me on high speed and "clean" whoever out. That is obviously not our intention seeing it is only play money. none of us have credit cards.....if u didnt know how to do it in the first place just say so...its ok

Don't confuse your issue with your LAn ip addresses. Its due to your routers WAN ip address.

You can't fix that even with proxy. Only way to fix it is pay for a second ip address from your isp and then somehow use it with the single line.

Golly gee wilerkers everyone. Learn to Internet Search
