MAC Address Changer
|
MAC Address Changer is a simple and free tool that was designed to help you change the MAC ID of your network adapter. A freeware program (with source code) that allows you to change the MAC ID of your network adapter.
Overview
From Author: my cable ISP does something really unusual and annoying - they lock a cable modem to the N/W card's MAC Address, thereby disallowing an user from either changing his network card or using a different machine. When my dad visits me, this is most inconvenient as he cannot plug his laptop to the internet and I don't have a LAN at home he can plug into. A Linuxian friend of mine suggested that I change the MAC ID - which is apparently a one-command operation on Linux based machines. I googled around and found that changing the MAC under Windows involved changing certain registry values and resetting the network adapter. I barely trust my dad with his laptop, so you can imagine how I felt about trusting him to modify the registry and reset network adapters. I am not particularly crazy about coding, I do it for a living as well as an off-work hobby - but I thought it'd be a prudent idea to write a GUI app for my dad in my spare time. That's how MAC Address Changer for Windows XP/2003 came into being.
Operations:
1. Change MAC ID
Enter a MAC Address into the edit box and click the change button. It validates the ID you've entered, so you cannot enter a MAC like "I am a chicken hawk" or something goofy like that.
2. Reset MAC ID
This'll reset the MAC Address to the adapter default.
