How are you changing the mac address? Wired or wifi NIC? Not sure what "does not take effect" means, but maybe your iphone is conflicting (take it off the network).

Are you changing the mac through ipconfig?

See if it works if you just change the last half of the mac address.

Ya, I had to look it up.

Perhaps editing the registry will allow you to change the manufacturer's section of the mac:

This.
There's really no purpose to change a MAC unless you are attempting to circumvent some sort of mechanism.
