How to clone your MAC Address

The MAC address (Media Access Control address or addresses of media access control) is basically a unique hexadecimal identifier that possess most of the equipment associated with networks.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. 
    
   Internet connection

   As mentioned, the MAC Address in principle were designed so they can not be changed. However, there are many reasons (legal or not) to justify the fact that you want to change your MAC Address. One of these reasons, and perhaps the main one, is that ISPs, Cable Modem, more precisely, record and monitor your users by MAC Address, which often create certain disadvantages (e.g to share the Internet connection with other PCs).

   EtherChange

   There are several ways to modify and / or clone the MAC Address on Windows, including complex changes in the registry (regedit.exe), but the easiest one I found was to use a small application called EtherChange (runs on Windows 2000/XP/2003 / Vista).EtherChange After downloading, run the program and proceed to clone the MAC Address:

3. 
    
   network card

   Select the appropriate network adapter (network card).
   type 1 to specify a new ethernet address, or MAC Address.
   Enter new MAC Address without commas, dashes or any other separators.
   
   Clever! Now just restart your computer to enable the new MAC Address.
   
   Update: There is also another alternative (among others) to change the MAC Address, which is to go to the configuration of our network card and specify the hexadecimal value corresponding to the address. The steps are:
   
   We go to [Control Panel] Windows -> [Network Connections].
   We double click on our link (network connection local area ...).
   Properties and then click Configure.
   
   Then go to the Advanced tab or Advanced Options.
   Within the tab look for the Network Address field and specify the hex value that will address our MAC board.
   
   The problem with this method is that not all network cards allow us to change the MAC Address, but still it is useful to know.
