Is it possible to change my MAC address?

Is it possible to change my MAC address? The wikipedia article on MAC address mentions that it is stored in the ROM of the NIC. How can the MAC address be changed then?

"The physical MAC address is hardware dependent and is stored on the NIC's ROM (EEPROM) chip. To physically change this you would have to do what is known as flashing the ROM chip on the NIC.

You can however do what is know as ""spoofing"" which is tricking the operating system to think that it is actually different. It can be done within the registry or using 3rd party software.

in a word, yes.

Here's a tutorial for Windows:
