As root, do "echo 5 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr". Put that command

No, the packets that bring up the link have the wrong return address
(inevitable if you are assigned your IP address dynamically).

up on a name resolution request. Arranging that is more complicated, but
can be more rewarding under certain circumstances.
