Color me crazy, but doesn't the Router assign IPs for when it NATs from External -> Internal network? That doesn't seem like it would work, since when it assigns IPs, it's based on your MAC address, which is hardwired.
I'm not 100% on that though. Networking is my Dad's gig, not mine.
192.168.0.1 is probably your router's IP. I'm sure there are ways to change it, but you'll have to read the manual for it. I don't have a netgear router.
no, i'm talking about spoofing my internal ip to the router. it assigns ips based on how many computers are connected (chronologically) to the network and once it assigns you an ip it doesn't change until you unplug your connection to the router.
You should give up on that one. I'm sure it can be done, but it's probably quite complex, and I have no clue as to how it's done. If you really want to do it for some reason, check out RFC 793, 1825, and 1948.
i tried doing it the easy way (through control panel) and it told me "that static ip is already in use". so yeah, i think it would be a lot more complex than i'm thinking.
would there be a way for me to spoof my ip to the router, say to make it .1, to have internet ALL the time instead of the planned schedule?
this also depends on how the settings were done. you could try to get another ip by reconnecting to the router. there is a way to spoof your ip to the router. to do it, im not sure yet. from what i kno the DHCP assigns you that address. i would be pesimistic on getting a new ip since admins can control how many clients can be hooked up; it really depends on exactly how he restricted you. Another way would be to go hard lined and hook up to your router to get a new ip assuming if its a wireless router, but that leaves you with a cable to deal with. Next in line, controlled trojans/keyloggers are your next best weapon :P.
correct me if im wrong.

first off, lemme just say that he's not my dad. step-dad, if that's what you wanna call him. whatever.. i don't care.
second, there will be no installing boxes. im not talking about permanently doing something, just something that i could change real quick to get internet. if there's nothing else i can do then i'll just stop trying altogether.
Just reset it then. Default settings should be good enough.
Resetting
Resetting this box is dead easy, all you have to remember is - Be Patient! When reset using the little blue button, make sure the test LED really is on solidly. The LED will come on seemingly solidly after starting, but keep the reset button pressed for quite a few more seconds. The LED blinks off, then stays off for about 10 or 15 seconds, before blinking rapidly and finally glowing solidly. If you don't get this, activity you have not reset the router. After you reset in this manner you are completely back to factory defaults.
Or just find the book and follow the instructions.
