Changing my MAC Address (Using a wireless adapter?)

[ShabazHussain]

Hello friends,
I'm not sure if i'm posting in the right section (please don't shout at me if I am!) but I am having some trouble changing my MAC address. I've tried to use programs like TMAC but every time I attempt to change it my internet connection completely stops working. The MAC successfully changes however I am stuck without an internet connection so i'm forced to change it back. For those wondering I am using wireless internet with Realtek RTL8191SU Wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0 Network adapter. I am really finding it impossible to change my MAC address and this is becoming very frustrating for me. I want to know if any of you guys have some suggestions on how I can change it? Will a new OS work? Will a new wireless adapter work? I hope that somebody can give me a soultion to this problem what I have!
Thanks guys.

Uhm, a MAC address is unique to each network card. Getting a new one will change your MAC address, but I'm not quite sure why you want to change it in the first place?

Dude, really?

1. Your MAC address is not visible outside your LAN
2. That is not what they are keying on to ban you
3. Don't do whatever it was you did to get banned, and you won't have this issue.
4. Once more, and you'll be banned here as well.

A MAC address is a 6 part address based on two things. The first thing (3 sets of two hexadecimal numbers) identify the manufacturer. The second thing (3 sets of two hexadecimal numbers) that make up the hardware address of the adapter.

This is a unique identifier. A new adapter will let you change this. Here is a guide to changing it: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/697bf48c-a226-4315-8875-2bbeddf16db2/how-to-change-a-mac-address-on-windows-7

Entomber is correct that each network device has it's own unique mac address. If the router you are connecting to is MAC restricted then this would be a reason you loose connection.

I see no Honest reason to change your MAC address, other to do harm or something illegal.
