The way I used to 'get past this' was by making my authentic
linux box (the one whose mac address my ISP had in his database) running
as a NAT for a windows machine + a laptop which I'd plug in every now
and then. Naturally, I had to run the 24online client only on the linux
box.
Of course, it means that the bandwidth allocated to the Linux box would
then be divided between all the other machines going through it, and
that it'd need to be switched on most of the time...
Or did I misunderstand your question?
