For example. I'm 100% sure this proxy works
216.155.139.115:3128
What would I do in this case?

AAaahhh.... I know why when you go to whatismyip.org it shows that. HttpSetPproxy doesn't change your computer's I.P. HttpSetProxy sets the proxy address for the autoIT application you are running, rather than your computer itself. If you want to set you computer up to use a proxy, then take a look at the appropreate pages for the scecified browser below:
Internet Explorer
Firefox
Google Chome (Chromium)
You may be able to configure these settings with autoit, but it is the browser settings you should change.

So even if I open up internet explorer via autoit. the ip will still stay the same?

That wont do you any good because u need to change your MAC address, which ever device that is directly connected to the modem. If your PC is direct to the modem I have seen in the past, some windows applications where you can change your mac address, however though, your issue will not be fixed until your modem gets reset.

If you are going through a router, some routers allow you to modify your mac address to anything you'd like. But keep in mind again, you still need to reset that modem..

Resetting modems are usually only capable of being done by you, physically unplugging and resetting it. Some modems however do allow you to reset it over the web GUI interface. These are usually modems that are set up at businesses.

So, if you are absolutely lucky and have all the equipment needed, a modem that can be reset over the http GUI, a router that can have the mac address modified to whatever you'd like it to be, then yes you can change your IP address.

Your script would be something like this:

1. open up browser
2. open browser to modem IP address
3. log into modem
4. reset modem
5. open browser to router IP address
6. log into router
7. navigate to router page, generate a random MAC address, update MAC address
8. reboot router
9. log back into modem and reboot modem again "just to be safe"
10. your "public IP address" should be different now

You can spoof your MAC address from the registry, without going through all those steps you posted.

Find your network adaptor in....

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlClass{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}****

...where **** is the number of your adaptor, in my case it's "0011".

In there find the entry called "NetworkAddress" and simply change it to your desired address, if it does not exist, then just create it, and use this format "017D7734A533" (12 hex numbers).

2 Questions.
1. How can I find out my adapter.
2.What do you mean by change it to my desired address. What are these numbers? 017D7734A533

I believe your ISP picks up your MAC address from the physical network card, not the registry.

[shornw]

not wishing to complicate matters, but I know that some ISP's tie your account to your MAC address (MAC filtering) and if you spoof another MAC address you may have to contct them to access the internet

That is correct. However, as far as an embedded IE control, I am not sure.

[Valik]

Does your modem have a web interface? My router and modem both do. Should I so wish I could use IE.au3 to automate the pages/forms and click a "disconnect/connect" button or a "reboot" button or similar. If your device does not have such a page then you will need a physical solution. A software driven interrupter switch would suffice to kill power to the device. Such things surely exist but they may be something you have to build yourself.

How would I go about using an embedded IE control
