the ip address is assigned by the isp (internet service provider) so no it will be different once you change where you get the internet from. But the mac address is a different story :)
2 :
Your IP address is depend on your ISP. So if your ISP is from USA then you will have USA IP address. To find out what is your IP address check IP locators: http://www.ipaddresslocation.org http://www.find-ip-address.org

Best way to send laptop from the US to Spain

Best way to send laptop from the US to Spain?
My amazing family bought me a laptop for my birthday (thanks, guys!). The problem is that I'm in Spain and they are in the US. Anybody know the best way to get it sent here? Can I get around paying customs for it? If I HAVE to pay customs, how much would it be? Thanks! P.S. Looked around on the internet and got conflicting information. Anybody out there have any experience with this?

Really this should be posted in the U.S section because you want to send from U.S.A to España send it via recorded delivery, with extra insurance etc. make sure it's packed VERY well ... BUT the problem with post is, (I think the limits 100€ or something??) you COULD end up paying import taxes on the product - I don't know the exact price, but I'm sure someone can tell you Maybe even the U.S postal services website ! -- I've bought stuff from online U.S stores, and eBay stores in China. Usually items are marked as "GIFTS" but they've been small things - unlike a laptop which would have to be packed WELL (Basically don't let them open the box !)

I just bought a computer and it was sent from the UK to spain. There were no customs charges, though that may be because of the EU. However, you are receiving a gift and if that is what is on the douane label it may suffice. Ask the mailing company.

I know it is expensive, but I would use DHL or some other private carrier. Expect to be charged VAT on the machine

you might need to get a charger adapter because electrical standards are different here then they are in Europe

Don't worry about it at all. Your MacBook power cord will either plug in directly or you can buy a two dollar adapter from a small shop along the street in any city in Spain. Here in China, there are four different outlet shapes, so I have three different adapters. NONE of them are sold in other countries. You just wait until you come to the bridge, and then cross it. All Apple power adapters are universal for either 115volt 60 Hz U.S. or 230 volt 50 Hz rest of world. Apple are smart about this. They know a notebook will travel, so they make it travel-ready. Now if only SoniCare electric toothbrush was half as smart... 115 volt only! Those morons
