Tiny howto for changing the MAC-Address of your hardware network interface (NIC). If a special firewall accept packets only from a special MAC-Address, with this work around you will trick it out to accept packets from your NIC:
1 | /etc/init.d/networking stop |
1 | ifconfig eth0 hw ether 02:01:02:03:04:08 |
1 | /etc/init.d/networking start |
This totorial was written as I tried to set up my new-VM with a new ordered IP-address on a Hetzner EQ-server line.
