Hello everyone.
I have been playing with my new compaq 6710b and apparently i can't change my lan mac address.
I tried to use regedit and to change the value in "locally administred address" under control panel\system\hardware\mynetworkcard\advanced but it didn't work.
I also tried MacMakeUp, it works but as soon as i plug in the network cable the default address is restored.
I don't have an access point to test if things are the same with the wireless nic.
I checked the bios but i was unable to find anything useful.
Am i missing something? Google hasn't been helpful this time...

Hi. Maybe this article will help:

How embarrassing i found what was wrong...
I kept inserting the address using cut and paste and i did't realize that the address i wrote the first time was 9 characters long
now everything is ok
i guess i'll be using a safer 001122334455 for my tests from now on...
Thank you spider_3000 -
No problem. Good luck
