You know the MAC address changed because----? The MAC address is assigned

If so that is normal for most people if your dialing into your ISP, if your connected directly to a cable/DSL modem or your connected to a router that has a built-in DHCP server function.

Your MAC address is on your network adaptor.
Vista doesn't change it. If you changed your network card, then it's changed. You probably mean IP address. Didn't you read Sooner Al's post? That can change, if you use DHCP and not static (permanent). "MicroBoy" wrote in message ... *Before i installed windows vista i had windows xp and win xp didn't changed my mac address.

So, you're changing the MAC address with a program, and you don't know why
it's changing? Why are you using this program???? "MicroBoy" wrote in message ... *I'm checking by this: 1.Start 2.Run 3.Cmd 4.ipconfig/all And I'm changing my mac address by this softwa a-Mac Address Change* -- MicroBoy
