I have been noticing one thing from a long time that many internet providers ( like ION in manipal ) use mac addresses to limit other people from accessing their network but they dont actually have a proper knowledge of it, so here is the way to make any computer whose mac address in not there with the service provider to use the internet and you dont have to change any mac addresses or anything, well the steps are right below
1) Find any one using Internet on the particular ISP
2) See his connection details like his IP, Subnet, gateway ( or default route ), primary DNS, Secondery DNS
3) Now in your OS set a custom IP say you saw the persons IP as 10.49.3.23 so set your IP as say 10.49.4.203 and enter other details that you found like subnet as 255.255.0.0, gateway or default route as 10.49.0.1, primary DNS as 61.1.128.65 and secondary DNS as 218.248.47.30
4) now connect to the network and enjoy ( you might have to login and there are multiple logins allowed so you can use any of your friends username and password to login )
5) And you might want to check out this if you are on ION

Now to know how it works, if you want to know how it works then continue reading else there is no need to read further
By taking mac addresses they assign you IPs using DHCP based on the mac that they have so if you assign it yourself you have no need to use DHCP and everything works just fine
Enjoy!!!!

Note:- If you get IP conflict change your IP and try again
