    Hi all,

    Is there any way to change the mac address of a LAN card in Windows
    2000 and Windows XP?

    As a corollary to the question, how would one detect if a computer
    was changing its mac address? This is assuming that the network on
    which this machine is connected has DHCP enabled.

    Pranav
