Internet doesn't work after changing MAC address
I installed Windows 7 on Virtualbox and then I tried to change MAC address using Technitium MAC address changer. Before changing MAC address internet works, after I change MAC address internet stop working. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

Re: Internet doesn't work after changing MAC address
AFAIK there's no way to change the MAC address of a network card. It's burned into the ROM and globally unique. So, you'd have to find out how your "Technitium" tool fakes this, e.g. does it install a driver similar to VirtualBox's bridging driver (only inside the guest) - in which case uninstall it.
If you want to change the MAC address for some reason, change it in the VM settings. But sure you know what you are doing, because multiple devices with the same MAC will screw with a physical network too.
