Hello,

Use "VBoxManage modifyvm <name> --macaddress<1-N> <mac without any ':' characters>

Best regards,

Hubert

Or you back up the value and input it in the MAC address box using the GUI. VM Settings > Network | Advanced.

Notice that he's asking how to set the MAC address of the host. This topic seems to be a cross posting - see here, the OP created virtually the same topic yesterday. IMHO this one should be locked.
