I am using tsocks on my Ubuntu machine and I have it all set up so that if I run

wget -q -O - checkip.dyndns.org|sed -e 's/.*Current IP Address: //' -e 's/<.*$//'

in my normal shell I get my real IP address, and if I run

tsocks wget -q -O - checkip.dyndns.org|sed -e 's/.*Current IP Address: //' -e 's/<.*$//'

I get another IP address like I should.

My question is how do I make the tsocks command return with a different 'different address'; in other words establish a new identity.
