change ethernet ID (address)

[Kot]

My internet provider give us internet via NIC, e.g. network card.

 

And I have such problem, I have to change ethernet ID (ethernet address like: 00:12:17:74:65:63) of my NIC to another, because for correct connection my NIC require specific one.

 

In windows I simply opened drivers properties and changes it to required, but in Mac OS X I did not find where I can change it.

Try it this first see it it works:

 

Open up terminal and type this:

sudo ifconfig en0 ether [your MAC address ie aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff without brackets]

It tells me that command is not correct:

 

sudo ipconfig en0 ether 00:00:00:80:19:A9

Password:

usage: ipconfig <command> <args>

where <command> is one of waitall, getifaddr, ifcount, getoption, getpacket, set, setverbose

[Postmastagen]

sudo ipconfig en0 ether 00:00:00:80:19:A9

That's what's wrong. It's not like Windoze where your Ethernet controls are controlled by the command "ipconfig" most of your network stuff will be controlled by the command ifconfig

sorry for my inattention

 

I tried this command but no result.

 

After using your advice, I opened network properties but there still was old network ID. But when I called command "sudo ifconfig en0" I saw there that ether equals to new value. So something must be wrong

 

Please advice.

Thanks Postmastagen, unfortunatelly I didn`t solve this problem by changing ethernet ID, but I called to my ISP and he changed address at his side and now I do not n

ed change at my side.

 

But despite this if smb have any idea how to solve this problem I will be glad to hear it.
