you can change the nic mac simply using a program called smac http://www.klcconsulting.net/smac/

...only thing is, the cable company (ntl/telewest/virgin media) wouldnt let an alien modem pass its authentication, no matter what mac adress its using, so you wouldnt get online with it, thats why its necessary to use an ambit modem, or a motorola surfboard modem to get authenticated and receive a feed...

Jesus, Im glad I did medicine, its far easier than this comp sci malarky Thats far tooooo scary to even think about.
