Hey all!
I need to change the MAC addresses of the machines at my work, but am having mixed results. Some I can change successfully (the change shows up in ipconfig/all), but others I can't. It's a mix of Win. 7 and XP. I got 2 of the Win XP's to change, and 2 of the Win 7, and my Macbook, but not with the others. I follow these steps (for both OS's)...
Network-
Network connections (right click)
Configure-
Advanced tab-
Network Address-
Click the button next to the blank space-
Enter the 12 digit HEX (0-9 A-F) mix the numbers and letters
Click OK let the adapter change it's settings and reconnect to the network-
Check ip configuration and the change should show under the active NIC adapter
On some it works fine and the changes are applied. On the others (2 win 7, 1 win XP) it doesn't. It shows in the network address in the NIC configuration, but not in CMD.
How come it's not working? Is it an issue with the adapters? One is a PCI adapter, the other 2 are built-in. One's a laptop the other a custom-built PC (ASRock H77M mobo).
I need to change the MAC's as soon as I can to fix some network issues.
Any suggestions? I'm pretty tech savvy. Thanks!
