    Hey Guys I am using Microsoft Windows 10. It is a pretty good operating system, and I like it a lot. The only thing I don't like about it is that it takes up a lot of disk space.

    MAC Duplicate, Host on 255, arp-scan, strange things

    Changing MAC "permanently"?

    I have an Ubuntu 14 and have to change the MAC address but with: sudo ifconfig eth0 down sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx sudo ifconfig eth0 up it changes back when I restart (or power goes off and starts itself back). Is there an easy way to change it permanently by console?
