Browse through an on-line proxy service or use an online mail anonymous mail resender. Google for either of those terms.
Hi JerseyGuy, I do this on my Apple XServes, but you can do it on your home mac too. I think you can only manually assign the ip, but it should still work. Try this
Go to System Preferences
Click on Network
From the "Show" dropdown choose the connection that is active now (Ethernet, or Airport)
Click on the TCP/IP tab
Write down the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, and DNS Servers (if you have those) (or use shift+command+4 to take a screengrab of that window so you can see these numbers later)
Now, from the Show dropdown at the top choose "Network Port Configuraiton"
Click on the Active Port (Ethernet or Airport) and click "Duplicate"
Click OK to the popup (or give it a new name)
Now from the "Show" dropdown choose the Port Config that you just created (the copy)
Again click on TCP/IP
From the Configure IPv4 dropdown choose "Manually"
Now, for the IP Address field, look at the numbers you wrote down (or took a screengrab of), just add 1 to the active IP Address (like if your active connection is 192.168.1.100, then just put in 192.168.1.101 for the ip on this duplicate configuration). Put in the SAME numbers for Subnet Mask and Router (and DNS Servers if you have those).
Click Apply Now
Your computer should now be broadcasting both IPs. If you log into your router and view "Connected Computers" it should show both of your IPs
Hope that helps
