Is MAC ADDRESS changeable?

I do say YES .I think so you know  what a MAC address is ,its importance,its format and other interesting things about it.If you dont know please know about that as its very very important.

First lets us know how to find MAC address of the system

>goto command prompt

>type "ipconfig/all" without quotations

this command is generally used to know the full information about the ip-address of the system.

>The address which is headed by the title "Physical Address....." is your system MAC address.

Now lets know how to change this very very important one which can be used to hide our identity

>open control panel

>select Network Connections

>right click on it and select "status"

>select properties

>click on configure


















>go to Advanced tab

>on the left hand side select "Network Address"

>now come to right side of the window the default value is set to "Not Present"

>click on the radio button "value"

>now type the address you want it to be

to know whether your MAC address is changed or not go back to the first step and you will know.

A change in MAC address sometimes effects your network connections ,  so please e carefull
