Maybe my topic is a little confusing, but is it possible that if you have one DSL connection, which connected to a router. You have two PCs, one is laptop, another one is desktop. Is there anyway you can have two IP address for two different computers but with the same DSL connection?
So, when both computers are online, both have different IP address?

I try to look for Hide my Ip, but that software is not free. They charge outrageous fee for that. What I am looking for, it is something absolutely free. And I can hide my IP as I want.

IP address changer? Is that a software? It is something new to me. I should definitely check it out myself. I am not sure if that is the legit name for that software.

We have a one dsl connection at our office and our ISP provider give us 8 public addressess that we can use simultaneously. One IP address is for the router and the other is connected to our webserver which is connected via a switch hub to the DSL modem. So it is possible if your ISP provider gives you more that one Ip addressess.

Well, if you are hoping to use your internet connection normally while having said different IPs, you can forget that. The ISP will only address you one public IP (that will be the one on your router, that both machines will use), so, the only other alternatives are either to use a proxy (which will only help you when it comes to visiting web sites and so) or by using a VPN to connect to someone else's computer and using their connection, effectively using their IP instead of yours.
However the question here is, why do you want the two different IPs? Knowing the objective helps establish a potential solution, although it seems odd from the start that you find the need to be doing something like this.

actually this is possible, the router you have decides what ip address it will give you,its called DYNAMIC IP addressing, wherein your isp provides you with 1 or more ip address put it in the router and configure it to provide ip address to whoever connects to it. while STATIC IP addressing is one public ip address provided by your isp and only one can use it.but on large company's they have a specialized router wherein it will supply hundreds of IP address to its workstations even if they only have one IP address.it might be difficult to understand so please bear with me.most home users are configured to have dynamic ip addresing ,thats the reason why everytime you connect to the internet your ip changes.
