I'm one of those people that try to help people out if possible but I can kind of see why some get mad about people asking questions and not reading. This subject was JUST discussed 1-2 pages before. Even if you don't read all the thread (which I COMPLETELY understand), it's interesting that people don't read just a couple of pages back. If you haven't, I would suggest you do. The answer is there.

Same address, different names, different SS#s, different bank accounts, sometimes same CC.

Are you using different browsers with private browsing or different IPs?

I do the same. I switch it up from home, cell, and work ip address.

Yes, I was doing A>B, B>A. (And then A1>B1, B1>A1, etc.). But I really don't think that was the issue, as I've been doing that with my primary accounts for nearly two years, and never had a problem.

I also was using the same IP for all transactions. I've started doing all me>spouse transactions from work, and all spouse>me transactions from home. We'll see if that makes a difference.

It's fairly easy to change your IP address. I just change the last number in the MAC address in settings on my linksys router and it creates a new IP.

I think what he means is changing his router MAC address will cause his ISP to see it as a new device and assign a new IP. Changing the MAC address on his laptop wouldn't do much. =P

up until today I thought MAC address was assigned to each networking device and could not be changed since it is embedded in the hardware.:rolleyes:

I learn something new every day :D

Look into a VPN if you want a new IP address. I've been doing this with 3 accounts for 3+ years with the same IP address. No problems for me.

Most ISP's won't release your assigned IP without a fit.
I know with Verizon FIOS it was a PITA as you had to reset the ONT outside your house to get a new one.

With Charter.... Yeah.... Screw that. Had to call like 5 times to finally fix that issue after releasing the IP.

;)^ MAC Addresses are unique and hard coded into every device, but they can be changed.

This. If you're a student like me, HotSpot Shield was offering a free VPN service. ^

I believe anyone who can disguise MAC address can change IP address quite easily:cool:

Update in case anyone runs into this bullhonkey in the future: Amazon's going to unwind the gift card and mail me a check for $1k. They say it could take up to 5 weeks but hopefully will be quicker.

Well I knew they would eventually fix it, since it was an obvious error, but the fact that its not a magnificent pain in the ... is a relief, yes.
