[ale] MAC Addresses

[tewkewl at mindspring.com]

It's actually not the OS that controls the MAC...It's the driver... If you have a nic that the vendor supports changing the MAC on then you're fine...if not, well...that's obvious... :)  So check your drive on the MS box.  It will most likely be under the "advanced" tab
