You have no reason to need a different MAC address, other than to be nefarious.

thank you for very professional answer, could you kindly in future, unless you have nothing to say, stay silent and keep your childish comments to yourself, don't think you're able to read my mind and tell me what I need or not, I could suggest a thing or two you need, including some manners

so, unless you have anything specific to the subject to add, thank you for your wonderful and inspiring contribution

 

To anyone other, thread is still open, any technical advice?

P.

Hmm, or maybe nice way of helping someone, with a technical query, not a moral dilemma, to insinuate things instead of answering the question?

also don't think it's that difficult to see beyond classic bla-bla about Mac address being the only source of truth, and anyone looking for a way to change them being a villain

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but a post saying along the lines "good laptop users don't mess with their mac addresses, unless they are up to something no good" is a perfect answer to a technical query, isn't it?

BTW: solution is very simple: regedit, proper key in proper class-id and network card disable/enable

P.

PS: I was expecting technical answers, but forgive me for being wrong

Several years after this minor drama and I find myself in the same boat as Zohor. It should just be a technical question: how do I set the MAC addr? In my case its b/c I'm trying to put my pc directly on my network connection for a few minutes to troubleshoot my router. Not really sure why an explaination's needed though. Oh well, off to go searching my registry.
