I was wondering if anybody could tell me where to find a ports list for controling the ethernet card. That or some code showing how to change the cards mac address? The ports would be better. in ports in meen asm ports out F8,ax 4r3 j00 L33+
I think you can't change the MAC address of a card. The MAC placed on the card by it's manufacturer. A. Riazi

sure you can change the mac address....search for it on the web and you'll find applications like SMac which you can use to change the mac address for your ethernet card.
If I changed the MAC address of my network card to one that exist in a LAN, what happened? Also, is it possible to change MAC address of DVB cards? A. Riazi

If you change your Mac Address to something that exists, bad things can happen. Exactly what depends on many things. If you never transmit, and you have a switched network nothing will happen. If you have hubs, then you will see all traffic for the other machine as if it went to yours. (better to tell the card to listen for everything if you want to do this though) If you transmit you mess up the network, and the sys admin will be down your throat. Don't do it. Nearly all[1] cards support changing the Mac Address from software. DecNet requires this ability. Everyone is afraid that the last person on earth who runs DecNet will buy their card and it won't work. Besides, because everything ethernet has always supported changing the Mac Address, it is easier to leave that in each upgrade than to take it out. I don't know what a DVB card is, so I can't speak for that particular case. [1]It is probably safe to just say all. I know of no exceptions and find them unlikely.

Thanks for your comment. Very useful. DVB is a card for receiving data from satellite. Sending data done via a regular modem but receiving data done by DVB. DVB has a MAC address, if received data contains this MAC, then capture this data and deliver it to Windows. Best regards, A. Riazi
