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. "00B094ECD861".
