Swift

Hi there peeps,

Please help me I need to change my MAC address in vista. I have gone in regedt32 (and regedt) and change the NetworkAddress manually and restarted the driver ect and it doesnt seem to work in vista (worked fine in XP PRO) ive used all kinds of programs (at least 3) and no luck.

Any idea why I change my MAC on vista, its really bloody annoying now.

Thanks alot.
Swift.

stupid

MAC addresses are hard-coded into your NIC(s)

As i said it works fine in XP but vista just doesnt like it at all

Swift

Yeh mac makeup works on XP but no vista...

EDIT: This is a WIRLESS card btw I can change the MAC on my in-built network cards np, ive also read quite a few posts on the internet saying they cant change there's either.

Please help!

You tried "Run as Administrator..." from the right-click menu?

Yup, I run everything MAC related as admin. In-fact Mac makeup doesnt let you not run it as admin.

Wierd thing is ... I can change my MAC on my two in-build LAN cards np with the registery change, just seems the be the wirless card.
