Can I change nic mac address?

[Bird222]

I am trying to run a Windows Server 2008 guest OS and I am having a network problem that seems to be related to the network card having the same MAC as the host OS. The machine is setup in bridge mode. Any thoughts? This is on VMWare WS.

You can't change it, but you can spoof it

the virtual MAC address for the virtual machine can be change, there should be an option to generate a new MAC address for the virtual NIC driver

Where is this option? I have looked everywhere I can thing of?

You can change the guest one, if that's what you're asking.

Just edit the vmx file - we have a KB on what the allowed ranges are, and just pick one, or if you delete the generated one and increment the index, it should make a new one as well.
