MAC address disconnecting

[Norp88]

Whenever i try to change my mac address on my VM i get disconnected and when i try to reconnect back to my bridged network it does not let me and eventually stops trying to connect.

I am using a Ethernet cable, and it works perfectly fine when i don't change my mac address, any ideas?
P.S i do try to reboot my service network-manager
P.S.S i have turned my /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf to true!

What's today, the "I want to change my MAC" day? There was another question just like yours, a couple of hours ago. Explanation in: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=82210

Quick Question, when i use macchanger it gives you a different MAC number, even if i restart the internet or shut it down change it and restart it, the internet still doesn't work. BUT if i go onto my wireless bridged network it works fine? is there any explanation?

I don't have the slightest idea what "macchanger" is (although I can imagine), neither what's your router, or how you've configured them, or what they can do. I never had the need to answer such questions.

I hope you are not under the impression that changing the MAC hides your identity? It doesn't. As long as you have an internet provider, they know whose account is being used - so they can identify you at least to the house boundary.

Actually, come to think of it and depending on what they're up to, I hope that some people do believe that changing the MAC hides who they are!

I didn't even think about that!

Unless the program specifically scans for and send the MAC address along with its own specific diagnostics, then the farthest your MAC will ever go is your router. In the case of a VM, I think it might not even go further than the host itself.

Except as I said if the program sends its own diagnostics, as is the case of the other post that I linked to.
