How can I change the MAC address of a network bridge in Windows?
Solution 1:
To change the MAC Address of a network adapter manually:
Open the Registry Editor:
Navigate to the folowing key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Go through the numbered subkeys until you find one that matches your network adapter configuration. Modify the value named NetworkAddress
to reflect the desired MAC address, but without hyphens/colons, if you want 00-B3-A0-03-00-1F
, set the value to 00B3A003001F
.
It's possible that NetworkAddress
may not exist, if so - create the key as a 'New' -> 'String Value'
.
Once that's done, you need to disable/enable the network adapter in the Network Connections settings page for the change to take effect.
