[ale] MAC Addresses

[Mazukna, Thomas]

I do not know of nic that has a changeable MAC address, 
but you can get yourself a netgear cable/dsl router
which can spoof the mac address based on ip. That will
work with roadrunner.

Subject: [ale] MAC Addresses


I was wondering if the following is possible...
For the sake of argument, lets assume that I only have two computers.  :)  
Computer A is my gateway / firewall and computer B is my Windows box used 
for gaming, etc.  Computer A has two NICs, NIC1 (connected to the net), NIC2

(connected to internal LAN).  Computer B has one NIC on the internal LAN, 
NIC3.  To connect to my cable modem service, my MAC address on my external 
NIC has to be a certain value, X.  So naturally, NIC1 has the MAC Address X.

  Ok, now I want to host some game server on my Windows box.  I was 
wondering if it were possible to set NIC3's MAC to X as well so I could just

move my cable modem connection to NIC3 instead of NIC1.  NIC1 and NIC3 will 
never be talking directly to each other.  Would this cause any conflicts / 
trouble?
TIA,
Jason
