Has anybody actually gotten this to work?? I have tried and
tried. I found a support document on the Netraverse
knowledge base that describes this a little bit differently
from Bob's description above. It is document Reference #
010606-000083. I have tried it both ways, and even
completely removed win4lin, reinstalled, re-installed
Windows 98se, and edited the /etc/default/merge file.
Everytime I run winipcfg I get the same MAC address. no
change.
