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.
