Hello ComputerForums Community,
I've been trying to figure this out for a very long time now to no avail. I know someone who can change his IP address to have the 3rd number as divisible by 8 and the 4th number as a .0 (i.e 56.45.200.0) whenever he wants to. This proves to be extremely advantageous for him in a game that we play since the game server determines priority in this manner. He won't tell me how he does it, and after spending so much time searching the internet for answers I've come to the forums as a last resort, hoping someone out there has an idea of how this is done...
He says all he uses to do this is his internet connection (no proxies, VPNs, software, etc.). He also showed me a couple screenshots to give me a hint, which I've attached.
I noticed the internet hostname changes in the second screenshot. It omits the ISP and the internet hostname seems to be the exact same thing as the new IP address. Is there any way at all that this can be done without any external software? I know for a fact that he has a .0 IP address, but I just don't know how he gets it.
If anyone knows the method and could explain it to me I would be eternally grateful. Thanks a lot in advance for your time.
