Is there no need to change the hostname too besides the MAC address ?

If you change the MAC address in the registry, does windows keep a log of all changes made ?

let me show u how to find the the sub-key in {4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} exactly.

1. Go to “device manger”
2. Double click in NIC which u want to change
3. Enter Details tab
4. Choose “Driver key” in “Properties”, hen u will see the sub-key. in my case, it is {4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}011

PS: i’m using windows 7 and my wifi NIC doesn’t allow to change MAC in “Device Manager”. The only way i can do is change MAC in registry

wrangler… i think you need to access the wireless router (if you can) and check from there… other than that i’m not too sure if theres a way to check…

oooh, one more thing. I tried to use Mac Address Changer from Technitium, but it says it can’t install itself because vista Sp2 is not compatible or supported. (

I have Vista Sp2, and i can’t change the network address because I’ve got a dell laptop, and it doesn’t have anything like network address OR locally administrated address in the property section. I’m staying in a youth hostel and the only way to get to the internet is to type in that 12 character code. i used to have XP on another laptop and it worked fine, but now i can’t set that address and of course the manager says it’s my problem that i got this laptop.
any ideas how I should work this out?

@ aelsea:
Same situation here (XP Home SP3). You have to follow the procedure “Change the MAC Address of NIC in Windows via Registry” as described above. It is a matter of only a few minutes and it worked perfectly on my computer.

The process in step 5 under Win XP only works for the Pro version. The “home” version does not have the “Network Address” option in the Properties window.

Might want to address that for folks who use the “home” version.

I’m specifically looking at the screen in Win XP Home with Service Pack 3 (SP3) installed.
