If for some reason you want to revert back the MAC address to its original value (the address value embedded in your network adapter), then choose the “R” (to Reset) option from the adapter menu: Note: In the case of a Wi-Fi adapter, you may want to reconnect to the Wireless network again (if “Reconnect automatically” was not specified for a given access point). Note: If you are changing the MAC address of a Wi-Fi adapter then please heed the instructions presented by the script ( start the new address with “02” or “06”).Īfter you enter the new MAC address, you will be taken back to the main screen. A few examples of valid MAC addresses are presented to you.
When you press “C”, you will be prompted to enter a new MAC address. Let us press “C” to change the MAC address: Change the MAC address: allows you to change the MAC address.In the second part of the screen, you will be presented with a menu containing three options: The connection status (Connected or Disconnected).…you will see how the first part of the screen displays the information about the network adapter: Once inside the network adapter information screen: Let’s press “4” in this case and go inside that adapter’s information screen. Using the keyboard, type the adapter number that you want to inspect and/or change its MAC address: On my laptop for instance, I have 4 adapters: When you first run the script, you will be presented with the main menu that will show you a list of all the adapters you have on your system. Otherwise, if you are using the Windows Explorer window, then right-click on your script and choose “Run as Administrator”: On Windows 8 and above, just press Win+X and choose “Command Prompt (Admin)” like this: To begin with, you need to run the script with administrative privileges.
Therefore, I will not be explaining the script’s contents or how it works because it will become evident if you read the Batchography book. The script makes use of various recipes illustrated in the Batchography book (in Chapter 4) and uses the various Batch scripting language syntax (Chapters 1 and 2) and methodologies (Chapter 3). In this blog post, I am going to share with you the ChangeMACAddressBatch script that I wrote with the help and instructions from the excellent Batchography book. In a previous post entitled “ How to get unlimited free Internet at Airports“, I showed you how to circumvent the time limit imposed by the “free” Wi-Fi connections in certain airports.įor that trick to work, you were required to update the MAC address of your computer each time the free time is over.
