I am trying to designate a MAC address for MS loopback adapter. Installation is fine. I see in device manager, the adapter and in advanced tab, I enter the mac address I desire. But when I do in cmd prompt ipconfig -all, I see the original mac address is retained.

I did search a bit but google is not extremely useful. I am hoping an easy solution exists to this problem. My os is XP.

thanks, KD

why would you need to change the MAC of the loopback adapter? – Arctor Apr 21 '11 at 5:02

Since there is no medium, there is no MAC address really. Why do you want to change it? Even if windows is silly enough to list a bogus address, you gain nothing by changing it.
