To Alter MAC address in windows, linux

I heard that we can't use some internet broad band connectivity expect the specific system as it's bounded to that specific MAC address.

Hmmm, the above raised a question? how to use that in other laptop etc...

Got a suggestion, Why can't you change your machine or laptop's MAC address matching the original bounded MAC address.

To Change MAC address in windows!

Go to,

Settings > Network Connections > local area connection > General Tab > configure > Advanced > Locally Administered Address > value.

Give the value , MAC address of bounded machine.

To Change MAC address in linux!

ifconfig eth0 down

ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:00:00:AB:AC:AA

ifconfig eth0 up

This will use the mac address temporally to browse!.
