My new ISP has a semi-static IP address. This is contrary to what I was told before signing up but it's cable and it's cheap and it really screams.

I now need to mask the IP address in some situations. Does anyone have experience with this? Will most poker sites accept your connection if your IP address is masked? I'd bet that Neteller would raise a stink.

Thanks in advance for your constructive comments and ideas.

Unless you have control over the routing tables in the upstream devices, and are 'masking' to a routable IP address that only you can own, no.

An IP address is not like spoofing an e-mail address, or spoofing a caller-ID display. It is actually how the little 0's and 1's know how to get to your computer. The only way to 'spoof' it is if you give it a different, legitimate address.
