Hi,

I have a mini router that have this feature, "clone MAC address"

My ISP doesn't allow me to connect more than one computer.
But, with the "clone MAC address" of the mini router, I can connect up
to 5 computers, and my ISP can't notice that.

What do I need to do this "clonning" with my linux box?


some years ago an italian wrote a tool called HEAT, if i'm not wrong. but I cannot find it a the moment...

maybe it has simply disappeared since ebtables already offers what you need:

(from http://ebtables.sourceforge.net/documentation.html)
<<MAC NAT: ability to alter the MAC Ethernet source and destination address. This can be useful in some very strange setups (a real-life example is available).>>


btw, I think that having a linux box, you'd better use it as a layer 3 router, rather than a layer 2 bridge... you can do much more in that case and... don't forget it, you will appear with more ip addresses than you should.

Thanks,

Nico

ciao
Alessandro
