unplug your modem for like 5 minutes then plug it back in.

Change the last letter or number of its mac address. Make sure you copy down your old one first, just in case.

if you're behind a router you have an internal ip addressing scheme. you can log into your router via a web browser by typing in the ROUTER's IP in the address bar. you should have a login and password for it (this is if you have a basic home router like linksys). you can change the internal addresses and all that good stuff.

if you have a cisco router, which you definitely dont, you can console in with hyper terminal and configure.

The MAC address is NOT modifiable. What you see is perhaps a virtual modification...

exactly, MAC addresses are permant. if you could there would be no point to them in a network because they identify the computer in a DHCP network. IP addresses can change easily. You can spoof your MAC address, which is probably what that is, but that is not changing it.
