How to change the Mac Address??????

I recently ran into the problem in where I need to remotely access a computer to get some work done. Most places that allow remote access to work computers employ numerous safeguards to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data.  One of the safe guards that many places employ to secure their networks is MAC address filtering. This prevents people without the correct MAC address from being able to successfully login.

The problem today was that the computer network I needed to access only allows us to choose a single device’s MAC address to access the network with. I did not have that computer with me, but needed to access the network. What was I to do? I changed my MAC address and I could access the network without a hitch.

*Please check with the company who’s network you are accessing. Subverting protection schemes could be against their computer usage policy or worse been seen as unauthorized access!

What is a MAC address? 

                                           “A Media Access Control address (MAC address) is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on the physical network segment. MAC addresses are used for numerous network technologies and most IEEE 802 network technologies, including Ethernet.” 

Changing your MAC address:-

1) Click the start button and open ‘Control Panel’ (Windows 8 just search for Control Panel)

2) Click the ‘Network and Internet’ option then ‘Network and Sharing Center’

3) On the left hand side of the screen click ‘Change adapter settings’.

4) This should bring you to your network devices, right click the device you access the internet with and select ‘Properties’. or me it was ‘Local Area Connection’.

5.) Click the configure button and then the Advanced tab on the top.

6.) Lastly scroll down and select the ‘LOCAL ADMINISTERED ADDRESS’ or ‘PHYSICAL ADDRESS’.

7.) Now you can see the right two options: “NOT PRESENT” and “VALUE”. Select “VALUE” and enter the new mac address which u would like to give.

8.) Then click on OK button at bottom. Your internet disconnected, then reconnect to use ur new MAC ADDRESS

Conclusion:-

It is not a secured method it may increase more treads to a uniq Mac address………..
