Hi Dana,

I want to enhance my privacy in a lot of little ways.

For example, do you know who I REALLY am?
My name. My address. My employer. My ISP. My phone. My MAC ID. My SSID. My
IP address. My operating system. My habits. My country of origin. My
newsreader, My spouse. My school. My bank. etc.

Some of these things, you DO know!

For example, you can easily see my ISP and my newsreader and my IP address
.... and if you dig a bit further, you can connect to some of the rest of
the things in this list above (and more). Just like a carnivore, tracking
down prey. A whole bunch of little clues lead to the unsuspecting clueless
innocent prey.

I just want to change my tracks by changing my IP address in an easier way
(read software rather than hardware) than shutting down the dsl modem and
router.

Is there an easier way to release an IP address to gain a new one a few
hours later (say overnight)?
