Use it carefully, though. You may get errors with KDE's networking tools.Code:/etc/init.d/networking stop ifconfig eth0 hw ether 01:02:03:04:05:06 /etc/init.d/networking start
So, first i'll explain how my network works:
I have a cable modem (Motorola), my ISP configured so that if a networkcard with a SPECIFIC MAC adress sends DHCP request - than it tells it all needed configuration and letting me through...
Now the problem is: Long ago i had this networkcard with RIGHT MAC address by defualt (Cable modem was configured for this card).
Then i changed this card to anotherone and CHANGED MAC address of this new CARD to MATCH the old MAC...In winXp it is easily done.
So...now when i'm under knoppix - i can't get needed configuration from my Modem and Modem will not let me through if MAC address of my eth0 is not the one i need, cause in knoppix it goes by default (the one wich is in it from manufacturer)...
Can i somehow change MAC address of my eth0 in knoppix?
p.s. Sorry if i wrote everything rather weired, i'm just so SICK of this problem...

My generic answer #4 will also solve this problem for you, for Knoppix, windows and anything else, and provide a safer Internet experience and a lot of extra utility too.
