The following guide will show you how to correctly change your Network
Card’s MAC Address using the Windows Registry. Below are several
different methods to accomplishing this and I am sure that one will work
for you. These methods can be used in both Windows Vista and Windows 7;
I have not yet tested them in the Windows 8 environment.
Method One:1. Access your network connection properties and select the configure option.
2. Select the Advanced Tab and then select Network Address. From here
you need change the Value to custom and enter your desired MAC Address.
Remember that this can only be twelve numbers in length.
3. Check to see if your MAC has changed using the “ipconfig /all”
command in Command Prompt. If your MAC Address is still the same as your
original please move to the next method.
Method Two:1. Open your terminals Registry Editor by typing “regedit” into your start menus search box and pressing enter.
2. Once Registry Editor has opened navigate through the following path:
CODE :
- Quote :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Control > Class > {4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
3. After you have navigated to this location you will need to create a
new entry in the folder so that you can store the information for the
new / fake MAC Address. To do this right click anywhere in the
right-hand pane and select “New” > “String Value”
4. Rename this new entry to “NetworkAddress” and modify the details of
this entry to the desired result. To edit the details simply right click
the entry and select “modify”. Remember to ensure that the value is
exactly 12 digits long, the length of a MAC Address.
5. Restart your network adapter and then view your MAC Address using an
ipconfig /all command in command prompt. If your MAC Address is still
the same as your original please move to the next method.
