Please post the ban info... I am curious to see if it similar to the kicks I have been getting.

Sry, in response to your ban... It wont be removed but you might try getting a router which will have a new MAC address, Linksys allows cloning, and change your hard drive.

Also see if this helps:
How to Modify Your Mac address in Windows XP

(Gatewaytohell)

February 03, 2003


I will be describing 2 methods of changing your Mac address and maybe giving you reason as to why you would want to do the same. Being on a local network for a college or business you can sometimes run into the trouble of getting assigned the same ip. You no matter how many times you refresh and disconnect with the DHCP your just cant seem to reset yourself on the DHCP server and get assigned a new IP. In DHCP's typical use, the server uses a requesting computer's MAC address to uniquely identify it and in doing so you are assigned a IP via your MAC address. But what about getting a NEW IP. I did this recently to prove a point. I was banned on my local network DC hub because of an argument of IP Spoofing. The mod at the time didn't like me knowing more than him so it ended with me getting banned from the hub. Since it was an IP ban I couldn't rejoin. This left me furious and I wanted revenge or at least to be able to trade like any normal user. So in order to get assigned a new IP i had to provided a new Mac address to the DHCP server. And this is how that can be accomplished.



Method 1:

This is depending on the type of Network Interface Card (NIC) you have. If you have a card that doesn’t support Clone MAC address, then you have to go to second method.

Go to Start ->All Programs ->Control Panel and double click on "Network Connections".

Next you will See The Network Connections Window pop up.

Right click on the "Local Area Connection" that is currently enabled.

Scroll Down until you get to "Properties" and click on it

The "Local Area Connection" Properties Window will pop up

Click on "Configure" and Move to the "Advanced" tab

Click on “Advanced” tab

Scroll down the “Property section”, until you see an item called “Network Address” or "Locally Administered Address", and click on it.

On the right side, under “Value”, type in the New MAC address you want to assign to your NIC. Usually this value is entered without the “-“ between the MAC address numbers but it will accept it either way

Go to command prompt and type in “ipconfig /all” or “net config rdr” to verify the changes. If the changes is not materialized, then use the second method. What you will be looking for that has changed is the "Physical Address" when running the "ipconfig /all" and in the "net config rdr" you will see a change in where I have put asterisk(*) NetBT_Tcpip_{20B93FCA-BE9F-44E6-A821-D8097219770F} (********)

If successful, reboot your Windows XP system.







Method 2

This method requires an some knowledge of the Windows Registry. If you are not familiar with Windows Registry, then I strongly advice you not to attempt this. And BTW always make a Backup of the key your about to Change.

a. Go to command prompt and type “ipconfig /all”, and then record both the "Physical Address" & "Description" for the NIC you want to change (The Physical Address is the MAC Address)



figure 1

b. Next Go to Command Prompt and type “net config rdr”, and you should see something like


figure 2.

c. Notice how the "Physical Address"(00-02-B3-0B-8B-08) matches what can be found from

Workstation active on
NetbiosSmb (000000000000)
NetBT_Tcpip_{20B93FCA-BE9F-44E6-A821-D8097219770F} (0002B30B8B08)



d. Remember the number between the long number (GUID) inside the { }. "{20B93FCA-BE9F-44E6-A821-D8097219770F}" For example, in the above “net config rdr” output, for MAC address “0002B30B8B08,” you should remember {20B93FCA-BE9F-44E6-A821-D8097219770F}. You can copy and paste it to the Notepad, that’s probably the easiest way.

e. Go to Start -> Run, type “regedt32” to start registry editor. Do not use “Regedit.”

f. Do a BACKUP of your registry in case you screw up the following steps. To do this

I. Click on “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE on Local Machine” sub-window

II. Click on the root key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE”.

III. Click on the drop-down menu “Registry -> Save Subtree As” and save the backup registry in to a file. Keep this file in a safe place.

g. Go to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}. Double click on it to expand the tree. The sub keys are 4-digit numbers, which represent particular network adapters. You should see it starts with 0000, then 0001, 0002, 0003 and so on. (See figure 3 below.)



Figure 3

g. Go through each sub key starting with 0000. Click on 0000, check DriverDesc keyword on the right to see if that's the NIC you want to change the MAC address. The "DriveDesc" key in the right window should match the "Description" you recorded from step (a.-I.). If you are not 100% sure about the DriverDesc, then you can verify by checking if the "NetCfgInstanceID" key if it matches the GUID from step (d) that i told you to record. If there is no match, then move on to 0001, 0002, 0003, and so on, until you find the one you want. Usually 0000 contains the first NIC you installed on the computer.In this demonstration, 0001 is the NIC I selected.

h. Once you selected the sub key (i.e. 0001), check if there is a keyword "NetworkAddress" exist on the right side of the window. In my case there wasn't One so I had to Create it. So in order to create it right click in the Right window and go to new --> String Value (like shown below)






i. Now you will rename the new key you just created. Rename "New Value #1" to "Networkaddress" In the case that it does exist you will be editing that key.



J. Double click on the keyword "NetworkAddress" and the Edit String Popup box will appear. You will either have to change the existing setting or you will have to make a "NetworkAddress" value data: Enter the new MAC address you want to modify.

A good reference is to take the Existing Mac Address or Physical Address and Copy that and paste it as your new value data: Then you may edit 1 or more of the numbers or digits from that. IE. if the Physical address is "00-02-B3-0B-8B-08" then I would change it to say "00-02-B3-0B-9B-09"







j. There are 2 ways to make the new MAC address active. Method 1 does not require a system reboot.:

Method 1:Go to Start->Setting->Control Panel, and double click on "Network Connections". WARNING: Make sure you understand
that you WILL lose the network connection after completing step "ii." below, and if you have a DHCP client,
you will get a new IP address after completing step "iii."

i. Select the Network Adaptor you just changed the MAC address.

ii. Right click on the selected Network Adaptor and click "Disable."
Verify the status column for this adaptor changes to "Disabled"



iii. Right click on the selected Network Adaptor and click "Enable."
Verify the status column for this adaptor changes to "Enabled"

iv. If for any reason it cannot be disabled or re-enabled, you have to
reboot your system to make the changes effective.

V. Now then you can always go to the Command Prompt and see if you indeed succeeded in changing your mac address
by typing in "ipconfig /all" and verify that "Physical Address" had indeed changed.

II. Reboot your Windows XP system. Then once back in windows go to Command Prompt and run "ipconfig /all"

k. Once completing step j (if rebooting the system, wait until the reboot is completed), go to command prompt,
type “ipconfig /all” to confirm the new MAC address.



To Restore The TRUE Hardware burned-in MAC Address:

remove the "NetworkAddress" keyword you added in the registry.

reboot or disable and enable your "Network Connection" if you rebooted go to command prompt, type “ipconfig /all” to
confirm the original MAC address. If for whatever reason the MAC address can not be changed using method 2, make sure
you take out the registry value you just added. If necessary, restore the registry you just backed-up to get your system
back to the original state. You can do this by clicking on the drop-down menu “Registry->Restore,” and restore your backup
registry file





Additional information:

Because I was inspired to write this.. for the educational point of view there is also a hackers tool

that will do the same thing.. very quickly... you can grab a copy below. Basically this app does what I have

described above but with the ease of use of not dealing with the registry yourself. I also would like to thank

KLC Consulting, Inc for their inspirations.

SMAC 1.1 is released on January 25, 2003! It is a MAC Address Modifying Utility for Windows 2000 and XP in all languages.

same thing happend to me and i cant get on most servers, this bites anyone who can help let me know please.
