Stoopid Internets

I’m chillin in my hotel (a nice Marriott), and I signed in for the free wireless. When I did it, I had to choose from Basic Internet, Just Email, and Internet with VPN. So I chose the VPN one thinking it be the least restricted (ports wise).

Wrong!

The kicker is that it’s signed my computer under that plan for 48 hours… Crap! Now I’m stuck with crappy Internet service for 2 days!

Solution, spoof your MAC address!

Here’s the command for Leopard:

sudo ifconfig en0 lladdr DE:AD:DE:FA:CE:D0

(put in whatever MAC address you want)

then just restart the wifi card and bam! You are a new computer to the network and you can pick the better service =)

Later!
