A USB network adaptor with changable MAC?

[DMZ]

After a bit of a scare this morning I'm even more conscious that my expensive software is tied to my Mobo's network chip.

It seems like a smart move to have something else with the same MAC address for if that breaks. Can anyone recommend a USB network adaptor that I can change the MAC address on in such a way that the PC won't know? I do have a D-Link DUB-E100 (see other thread) but even when working the PC knows that its real MAC address has been changed.

Thanks

Bit confused.....

What software would be tied to the motherboard network chip?

Most USB adaptors you can change the MAC Address but not entirely sure what software you on about that is doing this.

Would you just stop. It doesn't matter if you're confused - you don't need to know.

I'm telling him not to post because he's following me around the forums posting crap. On his profile he doesn't have a single question to ask or answer to give. He's just bored.

The question makes perfect sense for anyone with more than minimal knowledge about how Windows handles MAC addresses. That's none of you (except maybe J.B), so don't try to involve yourselves.

How could knowing what software it is possibly matter? It's not a valid question, especially coming from someone who doesn't even know that software can be tied to a MAC address.

I don't need to know ? then next time don't ask for help

I'm not asking you am I? I thought you'd have left me alone by now. It may surprise you to learn that not every question is directed at you just because you can read them.
