How to Change Mac Address in Windows 7
I was asked today to go to Sali's cousin to configure second
notebook with
Windows 7to be able to use the Lan Internet
connection.
So to be able for the second laptop to be able to connect to the
internet over the same utp cable, I had to change the second pc LAN
device MAC address to be equal to the first PC (the one who already
could connect to the internet).
First I needed to get the original MAC address of the notebook
which could already connect to the internet, to do so I used the
command:
C:\< ipconfig /all
The command will list you all the Interfaces on the pc with all
their MAC addresses, use the MAC address which is for the Network
LAN Interface:
So Here is how I changed the MAC address on the
Windows
7:
1. First go to Control Panel, Network and Internet
Control Panel ->
2. Then go to Network and Sharing Center, Change Adapter
Settings
Network and Sharing Center -> Change Adapter
Settings
3. Next navigate to Local Area Connection, Properties
Local Area Connection -> Properties
4. Now you need to choose the Internet Protocol Version 4
(TCP/IPv4)
Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)
(Click Over Configure)
5. Now choose Advanced
6. From Property choose Network Address
Property -> Network Address
7. Click on Value
Value -> Enter new mac address
In the field just fill in the 1st notebook's mac address
Now the MAC address is duplicated from the first notebook to the
second one.
The Network Cable when plugged in to either the first or the second
PC will be able to provide both the notebooks with internet
