what are you doing now ???
If cookies are blocked there's anotehr very easy way:
MAC address
Each ethernet based device has one , unique number of that... and there are 2^48 possible combinations...
(original MAC-48 is made of 48 bits...)
Now... if you have an ethernet stuff... or anyway a NIC (network interface card) like wireless stuff or bluetooth (also but not only) you could be traced down even if IP address is different.
That's cause the NIC level packets (medium interface layer in OSI pile) are below IP level (network layer) and thus encapsulated inside IP packet... so an IP packet always contains MAC informations....
Now... there are ways to avoid that... or well... hide you more efficiently but sometimes it's rather simple buying another NIC (e.g. another router in your case...) and use that.
Said that... if "someone" wanna really find you he will!
But don't let me tell you who this someone could be...
Kind regards,
