I went on vacation for a week. ” The kid” was left home and got on a ton of chat sites and became banned permanently from most. Unfortunately I share a couple of those sites and tried to resolve this with the admin people( via email ) but ,, no avail. I understand there is a way to get around this IP banning by using a wireless router. ( these sites ban by using IP address.) I have a G5 iMac with a Leopard O/S. Can someone please refer me to the right information/hardware to get back in these sites so that I contact the people i can not get a hold of by any other means , and possibly talking with admin directly , instead of the long drawn out email. I will thank you in advance. ….. ( frustrated father)

Nice tip! I’ve been having airport issues all day, gave this a go, and voila, haven’t lost connectivity for almost 5 hours now. Thanks!

Hi.

This does not work on a MacBook Air.

Reason:

The wireless card in the MBA is en0.

You can’t change en0 with the command above. On most apple laptops en0 is ethernet and en1 is wireless network.

So changing en1 worked for me on a macbook plastic.

Anyone knows how to spoof en0 on a Mac?

Cheers

This does not work on my 15″ MBP (Early 2008). Reading around the internet, this seems to be somewhat of a hit and miss method.

Which Mac did you test this on?
