Change the MAC address in Windows 7

To spoof your MAC address in Windows 7 there are a few facts you need to know. If your network adapter has newer updated drivers, then you can only spoof your mac address to an address that begins with 12. For example 12197ECD414A. You should enter the MAC address without the dashes.

If you would like to spoof your mac address to an address that begins with 00 (for example 00197ECD414A) you must downgrade your network adapter's drivers to an early version.

Go to Start and then click Run. In the text box type CMD (enter). In the command prompt type ipconfig /all. This command gives you all the information for any network card in your system including the wired network adapter, bluetooth adapter, and the wireless adapter. So you’ll have to look under the specific heading you need because each adapter will have it’s own MAC address. The MAC address is called Phyical Address.  Now you know your MAC address.


Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network and Sharing Center -> Change Adapter Settings -> Properties -> Configure -> Network Address -> Value (type your new MAC address). Enter the MAC address without the dashes.

To verify the change of MAC address. Go to Start and then click Run. In the text box type CMD (enter). In the command prompt type ipconfig /all.
