Nic and MAC Adress

[zemotard]

How to change mac adress out of the range 00:50 in the VM properties ?

Because when I change it in NIC Driver, my license tool doesn't see this mac adress (while ipconfig /all see the good mac adress)

*But the mac applied* in the VM properties this is ok and my license tool works great...

Don't think you can. All of the configuration docs I have seem say you have to set MAC in range: 00-50-56-xx-yy-zz. This is the range that has been allocated to VMWare and there may be some regulation about allowing MAC addresses out of this range to be assigned.

Has the VMX file for the virtual machine been modified with the lines:

ethernet0.addressType = "static"

ethernet0.Address = "00:50:56:xx:yy:zz"

My aim is not to use a mac address begining by 00-50-56 ....

if your guest is windows OS

Setting the NIC properties in Windows:

• Edit the Local Area Connection propeties for the NIC you want to change

• Click the Configure button next to the NIC name

• On the Advanced tab select NetworkAddress

• In the Value field enter a new value for the MAC address, enter only numbers or letters, no spaces, dashes or colons. This MAC address can be any valid hex numbers between 00 and FF for any of the octets

• Click OK and that's it, the new MAC address takes effect immediately and will override any MAC address set by Vmware

this works

Thnaks I have already try that, but to license tool continue to see the other mac address. While when I set a mac address in the vm properties my license tool see the good mac adress .... Very strange ...
