    No need to use somebody's potentially malware infested app. (not that
    these are untrustworthy sites)

    Go to network neigborhood
    Right click on intended nic and select properties
    Click the Configure button
    Select the Advanced tab
    Select the Locally Administered Address (or similar sounding) Property
    and change it to what you like.

    Or you can do it via WMI with the Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration
    class.
