windows - How do I change the MAC address of my network card?


I have a local network in a Windows system where the Admin gives permission to the PCs by their MAC address. But he is on vacations and I have a new PC.


How can I change the MAC address of my new PC to have the same MAC address as the old one?


I know this can be used for spoofing the address, but this is local, so I don't think I will have a problem.



Answer



I have used these instructions in the past and they work great



There’s a C++ command-line utility called Macshift that allows Windows XP users to change their MAC address to any other valid address. I’ve written about how to use it and how to create shortcuts to change your MAC address on-the-fly. I’ll first explain how to use Macshift for any MAC change, then I’ll show you how to make Windows shortcuts using the command-line options. I’ve also made a small script to make it easier to use, but the script isn’t necessary. Macshift usage
Macshift is a command-only utility, so you need to learn the options to use it.
