In Linux: ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:00:DE:AD:BE:EF Generally, the EEPROM address is read by the driver, so the driver is the place to insert the new MAC address. Solaris is normally an exception where you need to do it in the machine firmware- though I'd guess you could write a driver that would allow it. On Win2k, it depends on if the driver supports it as to if the appropriate NIC property is changable. HTH, Paul ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
