Sorry to ruin your celebration but you can change the MAC address with software (atleast in windows xp) :fear:Originally posted by EphemeralOh yeah, well since we designed and build the motherboards in our PC's, I can change the firmware in the ethernet chip and put in any MAC address I want, thereby dodging bans!
so there :P :P

I believe you can spoof your MAC address, but you certainly can not change the firmware in the NIC. Banks of MAC addresses are assigned to manufacturers and are unique and the manufacturer programs them into every ethernet chip at a low level. Hiding or spoofing a MAC through an operating system can be done, but it is not foolproof and can be detected. I have no idea if TW has that level of detection sophistication, but the point is mute because I wouldn’t ever do it anyway.Originally posted by janiptSorry to ruin your celebration but you can change the MAC address with software (atleast in windows xp) :fear:

Yes you are right, it is spoofing the MAC address. Very usefull for example to fool torrent sites if your ratio goes too bad and they ban your IP. I seriously doubt continuum can detect whether it is spoofed or not... lol going badly offtopic and especially to the dangerous topic :fear:Originally posted by EphemeralI believe you can spoof your MAC address, but you certainly can not change the firmware in the NIC.
