  2. Unfortunately this work only if You have direct acces to internet...
    Many users have adsl (or DSL), routers.... Acces Points etc, etc... etc... in which case that is not working...
    This method changes only private IP, but public is NOT CHANGED....
    So... This work only in small number of users with direct connection... (eg. thelephone modems etc)
