Re: Possible changing MAC address of cable modem?

"SMAC program let you change mutiliple mac addresses of hardware on your computer"

Changing the Mac address of your modem is not a good thing to do!

As the Mac address allows your modem access to the network through provisioning changing it would instantly disconnect you.

Furthermore I do not consider an external cable modem "hardware on your computer"

Edit: Having read up a bit on this program it spoofs the Mac address of devices in your machines OS. As the Modem Mac never shows in your OS as it is an external device I conclude its impossible.
