?? MAC ADDRESS SPOOFING ???

[Guest]

OK, once and for all...can you spoof the MAC address of your NIC?
I have a fiber obtic ISP who has my connection MAC specific, so i can not
connect my laptop and get to work....

is there anyway to CHANGE, or SPOOF my MAC address on my NIC

If your not getting the answer you want here, why not goto the web and
google for MAC spoofing. All the info you need is out there, just look for
it.

I don't think you can do it in your NIC, but you can get yourself a cheap
router. All of them that I've used let you change the WAN-side MAC. Download
an online manual first to double check that the router you get isn't lacking
that feature.

Control Panel / Network Connections / Right click on NIC / Properties /
General / Configure / Advanced / Network Address (enter your MAC here)

Whether or not you have that option depends on whether your NIC's driver
supports it.

An alternative would be to get some 3rd party MAC spoofing software.

Don't set up two NICs with the same MAC on the same LAN.

Question spurred by pure curiosity,

I looked to my NIC's properties as described above. I did see any "Network
Address" setting but did see "Locally Administered Address." Dave, are what
you described and this setting the same? My NIC is an onboard LAN chip on
an Intel board.

I *think* it's another name for the user edited MAC but I'm not certain.

Correct. The default (permanent) address is known as the Universally
Administered Address (UAA), and the user specified (temporary) address is the
Locally Administered Address (LAA).
