Ok, i have a Realtek RTL8191SE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter, the MAC address normally starts with 1C. In WinXP I don’t have the ‘Link: local IPv6 address’ field, and the ‘IPv4 Address’ is actually an ‘IP Address’).ĥ- On the other hand, when the MAC is changed, the output of ipconfig /all is

Now, when I change the MAC address to a valid value, I lose internet connectivity (which is via a WiFi router connected to the ISP modem). Any change not following these rules leaves me with the built-in MAC address, and with internet access, of course. With these steps, I have verified that in order for the MAC address to be actually changed, I need to change the first octet from the built in value 00 to 02, 06, 0A or 0E, as many have noted, and I have to keep all other octets the same as built in. If so, check if the MAC address changed to the selected value.Ħ- Check if there is network connectivity.

When I change my MAC, and connect to google, the terms&services page does NOT show up, which tells me it hasn't changed.Īlso when I run ipconfig /all, my MAC is still the original. TMAC does show me the desired MAC address as an 'inactive' number, but never active. I also tried changing the MAC of my ethernet adapter, because I can hard-wire into hotel internet. I don't get any TMAC errors, but my MAC does not appear to ever change. Then my Roku will work for 24hrs before having to run this whole exercise again. I am trying to change my MAC address to the same as my Roku device, so I can connect to the internet in a hotel, accept their terms&services, and then change my MAC back to original. Hi Shreyas, great program! I seem to be having similar issues as described above, but I have a slightly different goal in mind for my Win7 machine. While I am not very sure why it works with '02' I think it has to do with the MAC Address specification which uses first octet to set flags (see image below courtesy ) If the MAC address didnt change, try to disable and re-enable the Wifi network adapter manually from Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings (or you can just enter Network Connections in Windows Explorer location bar).

You just have to set the first octet of MAC address to '02', instead on what normally is '00'.

This tells that the network adapter drivers are actually preventing users from changing MAC address.Ī simple workaround would let you change MAC address on most wifi adapters if you want to just make sure your original MAC address is not exposed. This issue is observed only on wifi adapters, while you can change the MAC address on Ethernet adapters without any fuss. Reverting back to old drivers again made things work. I also had one email feedback saying that TMAC couldn't change MAC address of Wifi on Windows XP machine after updating drivers. Its been observed, and I had quite a few email feedback confirming that, on the same hardware with Windows XP installed, everything seems to work fine! Technitium MAC Address Changer (TMAC) is unable to change MAC address of many wireless network adapters on Windows Vista and above.
