The solution was to reboot the modem. The modem cached the MAC address on the client side not the ISP's DHCP server. Would that work better in your situation rather than trying to spoof MAC addresses ?

Re: Mac Address Spoofing(!)
I tried the resetting for 24 hours (unplugging it from power), tried to have my isp give me different modem configuration files, no go, my modem just liked my mac, after following the instructions given I was able to acquire a new ip address, so far, no harm done. Cheers!

Mac Address Spoofing(!)
Hello guys, I've set out to spoof my gateway's mac address so that I can get a new ip address from my cable ISP without having to unplug my modem for 24 hours as they suggested (and is understandable, thats how long their DHCP lease last). I've tried several things, one of which is following the instructions here http://ezine.daemonnews.org/200406/netgraph.html - I also tried doing: ifconfig xl0 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00 to no avail.

Re: Mac Address Spoofing(!)
Thank you, I'll try that. Sometimes I'm very hesitant to believe things are so easy, but I'm sure this is gonna work now. Thank you!
