| | MAC changer vbscript here is just steps to change MAC address on windows 98 system: (from www.klcconsulting.net/Change_MAC_w98.htm) 1. Goto Start->Run, type "Winipcfg" 2. Select your ethernet card and record the MAC address 3. Goto Start->Run, type "regedit" to bring up registry editor. 4. Locate "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Net". It should have subkeys like "0000", "0001", "0002" and so on. 5. Click on each subkey that starts with "0000" and determine your Ethernet card by looking at "DriverDesc" key. If it did not match, then goto "0001", "0002" and so on... 6. Once you got the right NIC card, 1. Click on dropdown menu Edit->New->String Value. 2. Name the new string "networkaddress" and click OK. 3. Double-click on the new "networkaddress" string and you will be prompted for "Value data" 4. Enter the new MAC address you want to assign. The MAC address you enter should be a 12 digit number with NO "-", i.e. "00C095ECB761" Just wondering is there way implement this steps into VBscript, to make process easy, and make registry editing process safe? Another thing, how then revert MAC address back to original values? santander |

MAC-addresses are kept here: HKLM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002bE10318}\xxxx\ where "xxxx" is a four-digit number representing the network adapter. To change the MAC-address you need to create the "NetworkAddress" value and assign the desired data to it. To revert to the inbuilt MAC-address you must delete this value. |

Create the "NetworkAddress" value for this adapter. 3. Write the desired data into this value. This requires a certain amount of work. Unless someone already has a ready-made solution, you'll have to do it yourself, then come back here in case you have some specific unresolved issues. You could also use Google to see if someone else has done something similar. |

HKLM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002bE10318"? How many keys in it? |
