The steps are as follows...

Windows 2000/XP

~Under "General" tab, click on the "Properties" button


~Under "General" tab, click on the "Configure" button

~Click on "Advanced" tab

~Under "Property section" select "Network Address" or "Locally Administered Address".

~On the right side, under "Value", type in the new MAC address you want to assign to your NIC. Do not use "-" between the MAC address numbers.

~Goto command prompt and type in "ipconfig /all" or "net config rdr" to verify the changes.

~If successful, reboot your system.

Get MAC addresses of all computers connected to your network(LAN)


~In command prompt execute "arp -a".(arp is for Address Resolution Protocol)

What is PUK code of a sim?

PUK code is a sim specific code assigned by your service provider. Its not possible to crack it on your own. So, whenever your cell asks for the PUK code, don't play(you may be in trouble), get the PUK code from your service provider.

Many people use a pin no. to get access to their cell phones.But, sometimes this may be a great cause of problem.

Suppose mistakenly someone enters 3 wrong trials.This results in blocking of your sim card and cell will now ask for PUK no. If the tragedy is to happen,you again give 3 wrong trials for PUK code.And the unfortunate result is that your sim gets blocked permanently.Now there is only 1 solution,go to the customer care center and ask for a replacement sim or simply throw this one and buy a new sim.
