Computer Science - changing of MAC address vista


Expert: Jeff Laatsch - 9/16/2009

Question
hello sir,
         i'm using window vista &plears tell me ,How can i change my MAC address of wireless LAN?????

Answer
Gagan:

Why would be my first question: MAC addresses were designed to be fixed numbers that cannot be changed.

The device whose MAC address is monitored by an ISP can be either the cable modem, a broadband router, or the PC that hosts the Internet connection. The customer is free to build a network behind this equipment, but the ISP expects the MAC address to match the registered value at all times.

Change the MAC address in Windows

For Windows Vista, access to NIC’s properties is from Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network and Sharing Center -> Manage Network Connections.

Alternatively, if you already know which network adapter that’s responsible for your network or Internet connection, go to Device Manager and open the properties dialog by double click on the NIC itself.

2.In the General tab, click on the Configure button.
3.Click on Advanced tab.
4.In the Property section, select and highlight Network Address or Locally Administered Address.
5.To the right, “Not Present” radio button is by default selected as value. Change the value by clicking on radio button for Value:, and then type in a new MAC address to assign to the NIC.

Kind Regards,
Jeff
