Network Address change on Windows 7
Wireless Network Address for Network Adapter isn't changing on Windows 7. I tried Properties>Configure>Advan ced>Networ k Address. Then manually set the address. But it's not working.
Are you trying to set a static ip address for this computer or are you trying to change the MAC/network card burned in address?
The way I understand your question, you need to turn off DHCP.
However, please be careful. Almost all workstations are BEST run with DHCP. Do not set static addresses as you will have later problems. Static addresses rarely if ever solve a workstation problem.

Sorry, I understand it became a bit confusing when I used "Network Address".
Actually it is MAC Address/NIC Hardware address or Layer 2 Network Address.
However, if you to go NIC adapters Properties>Configure>Advan ced tab then you will find Network address. You can manually set the Network Hardware Address.

I tried with SMAC and change MAC but no luck.
However, I need to test with TMAC. But I think it is Win 7 issue. Most of the Win 7 users are complaining the same.
