is your spoofing still working though? Everything was fine until yesterday but now 7 digit dialing and spoofing are both not working. Nothing changed.......

Danny switched my mj from nashville to newark proxy. So after editing my host file to 127.0.0.1 proxy1.newark.talk4free.com, all is well now.

Btw, I don't see anything in fiddler2 that tells me which proxy my mj was running on. I had to look at my router log to find out my mj proxy was switched to newark. Is there a better way to find out which proxy my mj is running on? (wireshark seems a bit too heavy on my machine).

You have to find out which proxy your mj is using and edit your host file accordingly. Until someone show us a better way, you can try this guy's method:

Why don't you try putting ALL of them in your host file? And in the spoofer, just enter the dns address of any proxy server closest to you. Let us know how it goes.

I added them all and it works now. Thought i would try it first with the magicjack proxy as 67.90.152.70 and worked thanks

Its looks like the proxy servers IPs are dynamic. I noticed nasheville jump to three different IPs within a few hours.

If you seem to be having this problem, here's a tip to fix it.

1. Unplug MJ.
2. Open up the windows hosts file and comment out the line that nashville or what ever proxy you are using is on.
3. Open up command prompt.
4. type "ping proxy1.nashville.talk4free.com".
5. Now write down or copy the ip address returned to the clipboard. You can close the comand prompt window now.
6. Paste or type the ip address into hosts files and then uncomment the line nashville is on.
7. Close the file and save changes.
8. Plug in MJ and it will start working.

--------------------------

Also to MagicHack, did you ever post the code or project. I'd like to take a look at the code to see if I could help out with the dynamic ip issues we are having.

I've been using the spoof for a few weeks and now all of a sudden cannot make it work. First it happened with Nashville a few days ago. I changed it Atlanta, followed the tips here and got it working. Now I've tried several and it's not working. I wonder if MJ folks have adopted a fix that they are making throughout their network? Anyone care to validate it still is spoofing and if so, which proxy?
Thanks guys

My still works, I'm currently pointed to Newark. I reboot my pc every other night and it seems to help. I will have the same sporadic problems as everyone else but I've had good luck clearing the DNS and pointing at either Nashville or Newark.

couch-potato · Post by **couch-potato** » Wed Mar 12, 2008 12:27 pm

I downloaded the program, but can't install it. Please help.

I downloaded CallerIDSpoof.exe
I double clicked on it.
A big black window opened up, with a cursor that bounces all over the screen.
It keeps doing that endlessly, nothing seems to happen.

I do have Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 installed. Running Windows XP.

How can I get this running?

lottamoxie · Post by **lottamoxie** » Wed Mar 12, 2008 6:09 pm

Okay I am editing my original post saying I couldn't get Spoofer v1.1 to work and now it works!

I edited the hosts file and put in every one of the proxy servers, as mentioned a few pages ago.

And that did the trick. I can now use my GrandCentral #.

I have no idea which proxy my MJ is actually using.

I put the IP address of the Chicago proxy in the spoofer, as someone else tried 2 pages ago and got theirs to work.

How do I find out exactly which proxy my MJ is connecting to?

If there is a program or utility I need to download that will show this, just let me know.

Stewart · Post by **Stewart** » Wed Mar 12, 2008 10:01 pm

If you *don't* have any proxy entries in your hosts file (and are not running the spoofer), then MJ will do a DNS lookup for the proxy. Clear your DNS cache

Code: Select all

ipconfig /flushdns

start MJ, when it shows 'ready to call', type

Code: Select all

ipconfig /displaydns

and look for the proxy entry.

Or, run Wireshark to capture traffic when MJ starts, then look at the DNS requests.

revebo · Post by **revebo** » Sat Mar 15, 2008 9:41 pm

I have noticed that the :proxy1.Newark.talk4free.com (67.106.133.198) seems to have random Ping drop outs and around 150ms earlier today. Seems to be working fine now.. I still think the Nashville is the best option. Just got my MJ two days ago and with the callerspoofid.exe I think this is the best 40 dollars I have spent in a long time.. Very very happy with this

I ask for the code from MagicHack to make some changes like auto editing the hosts file with the correct addresses.

I did this and do not have a single "Proxy" dns listing. There are many associated with MJ but none are for a Proxy.City.talk4free.com address.

Do I use the ipconfig /displaydns command to find my mJ proxy for the spoofer program???

Now for the Local mJ IP I am behind a router do I use the NAT address that the router gives the computer running the device or the IP addressed assigned to my router?

Thx!

ok i loaded it onto my laptop set the C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc to

127.0.0.1 proxy1.nashville.talk4free.com

then saved it.

went on the spoof ver 1.1 and set th proxy to 67.90.152.70
local ip to 127.0.0.1
and it worked until i turned off the machine and then tried to use it again. now it will not work i get a error 3 message "please connect to the internet and double click here" witch i did it then asks for my email and password. witch i did but not its not working.

any ideas?

right before i got it to work i think i had a newark proxy.

should i still keep the localhost proxy and if i do keep it should i put it before or after the nashville one?

thanks in advance

Anyone come up with a way to do this with Macs yet?

fgrider · Post by **fgrider** » Tue Mar 25, 2008 3:45 pm

After a few days of this and that I have most of the spoofing working. Only problem is no 911. In the mj window where the 911 info is it says "not connected, no 911 info available". Also in the spoofing gui when I check block caller id it sends my mj number to the caller. Neither of these are a big deal, but.
The only way I could get any of this to work was to add all 30 proxys in the hosts file. If I just add the one I am using in both the spoofing gui and hosts file, which is Nashville it does not work.
Also off topic has anyone had a problem with low volume to the calling party. I can hear fine but they can hardly hear me. I have cranked up the volume in the mj window for the telephone and turned down on the headset. Anything I can checkout. Changed phones and usb ports and called tech support. You know how much help I got there.
Thanks for any help.

911 now working. Still have problem with low volume other end.

The perl script should run fine on a Mac. Use Wireshark or tcpdump to find out what proxy you are using. I don't know how to make it resolve to your machine (the name lookup scheme was changed in Leopard), but the comments in your host file should point you in the right direction (if a hosts file entry does not work as expected).

hype8912 · Post by **hype8912** » Tue Mar 25, 2008 10:04 pm

The 1.1 code needs to be re-written and a web service api hosted somewhere for everybody to ping for all the IPs. I requested the code awhile back in a thread but I may PM magichack.

I guess magicjack is now paying for leased IP addresses instead of static. If you a have configurable router you could set your router up to do the job but a web api still needs to be developed so we don't have half a million people pinging magicjack servers just for an IP address. This way one server can ping the magicjack servers and everybody else can request the data from the service hosting the web service API.

I'll look into hosting the webservice since I'm moving my website over to godaddy hosting next month.

ifixnets · Post by **ifixnets** » Wed Mar 26, 2008 7:27 pm

hype8912, while I can see what you are saying with the web service, I do not think the issue is with the proxies going down. It looks more like an expiration of some sort of registration that our magicjacks do on the proxy. Once it expires, the spoofing seems to 'freak out'. This is all 100% guessing but there are many times when it doesn't work and the proxy is clearly up.

anyway, brainstorming, that's what this is all about. And the code can be found at the very beginning of this forum.

Two questions.... my ability to connect using the Caller ID Spoofer seems to be intermitant (uh, like right now it's not working).

1.) Has something changed to keep it from working?

2.) Does using the spoofer affect the quality. Even with the Hawking BBB, I'm having a heck of a time with quality.

Thanks..

Bendle · Post by **Bendle** » Thu Mar 27, 2008 6:29 pm

So I just tried this and doesnt work for me. I am in Nashville.

My DNS seems to be telling my MJ to connect to something new ...

PROV1.TALK4FREE.COM at 67.90.152.80
as well as a 911.TALK4FREE.COM at the same CNAME record of PROV1

No one has mentioned this DNS name so thought I would post it....

I have the spoofing working but now no one can dial into the phone, it gives a hard busy signal.

Also the CallerID Name does not display, instead i see "Out of Area".

Any ideas to fix this?

Thanks!

ifixnets · Post by **ifixnets** » Sun Mar 30, 2008 3:57 pm

Whenever mine will not allow call in, I stop the spoofer and be sure it connects normally. Then I call the MJ number from my cell. Once it works, I then put the spoofer back in place and all seems to work then.

Sometimes I have clear dns and then restart everything to get it to work properly. just in case....from command prompt, type: ipconfig /flushdns
