Hello,

I want to use the same Mac on my Pc and my PPc.

thanks,

Hello,

I do not believe there is any way to change the MAC address on the
device. This question has come up several times in this group and I
don't remember seeing a solution and a Google search comes up empty.

It could be that it is possible and I am just not aware of how to do
it but I don't think so.

Regards,

First, the entire concept of mac addresses is to preclude the
possibility of duplications world wide.

That said, there are options for pc's to do so, so use one of those to
set your pc to the ppc's address to get them to match... and then only
when only one is connected to the network at a time.

also, be aware that you will be prevented from any reliable
communication between your ppc and pc.

If this is in connection with using a router or modem to connect
online, most of them now allow you to "Clone" the PC's MAC address.

Doing this means the router appears to the ISP as if it's your
original PC - and anything behind it does as well - so both your PC
and PDA can connect through the router.

I'm pretty sure there are only a few unenlightened ISPs still doing
this trick now, and router manfacturers have long since got round it
using this clone idea,
