Re: Why can't I change this MAC address under Vista?
Artemus, I hope you have solved this problem by now. I too experienced the exact same problems as you when attempting to change the MAC address on my laptop's internal Broadcom wireless adapter. I too have a dual boot and had no problems changing the MAC address in XP but could not do so in Vista. In Vista the wireless adapter allowed me to change the "locally administered address" through Device Manager and the change showed up in the registry, but ipconfig/all revealed no change. I also installed a pcmcia wireless adapter (after disabling the internal one) and it too allowed changes through Device Manager and the registry, but none occurred. I also went into the hidden Administrator account and tried the same procedure but to no avail. Perhaps it has something to do with Vista's product activation technique, which may be more stringent than XP's. Any proven technique would be vastly welcomed. Thanks. -- gpsmall Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |
