MAC address spoofing not working in Windows

MAC address spoofing not working in Windows

In Windows 7 I tried setting my MAC address by changing it via adapter properties (Locally Administered MAC Address), but ipconfig /all still shows the old address, even after rebooting. Any hints?

"It's possible your card does not support changing your mac address.

You may also have more luck with a mac address changing utility.

Edit: It seems things are slightly different on Windows 7

(Taken from a forum post);

Go to Control Panel->Device Manage->Network Adapter->Advanced->Network Address
Change the value here. Ensure the first two digits are not the same.
Change the registry key value. (Guide here)."

"Try a MAC address starting with 10, 12, 13, 14 or something like that.

Not all MAC addresses are supported in Windows 7."
