nj_don Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Were can I set the mac address on boot? I currently put a script in /Library/StartupItems but it doesn't appear to be read and I need to execute the scritp manually on every re-boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibendum Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Address? IP Address? MAC Address? Billing Address? First two would be handled in System Preferences/Network, but I'm not sure what you mean... Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj_don Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 The ethernet adapters mac address. On boot it doesn't have any address so I can't establish an network connection until I manually set it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibendum Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Really? It doesn't just default to the hardware address? Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nj_don Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 read 'man ifconfig' Why? I'm already using ifconfig to set the address ... the problem is it needs to be set manually on every reboot ... I'd like to have the addres automatically set on boot .. My first note in the thread outlines how I've tried to do that but it doesn't seem to be read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ramm Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 You could create a script that executes every time you login. Do it in Applescript, and make an application out of it. Then, add it to the dock, right click and select Open on Login, then remove it from the dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
