thank youSpoofing you mac is a facility provided by your router not VM so it will not be vm who have stopped you, Could it be the site you are accessing has increased there security to stop spoofing and changing of ip address's.

There is a limit as to how many macs you can use per day.. Have you gone over that limit?

I think (though others are more knowledgable than me on these matters) the limit is 5 macs per day..

If I understand the issue..

Spoofling the mac address means that you can switch router (to one with a different mac address) without having to reboot your vm modem.

To the op, I believe you just need to do a full powerdown of everything.. reboot the modem first, then switch on your router and you will be OK. (You can remove the spoofed mac address from the router).

You'll have exceeded the limit of 4 entries in the host table.
If you need to spoof your mac to get to one site, then I'd suggest sticking with just one that works.
You'll eventually get a 169 and whilst your spoofing addresses its likely you'll be causing conflict on the network so other customers can't get online.

1 unique mac address = 1 unique IP address ;)

I don;t seem to have that problem ;) Don't even need to reboot my modem..

Everytime I change my mac I have to. Mind you I only have a series of 3 macs I use 1 default router mac, 2 Clone PC mac ,3 a generated mac address I keep as a spare.

I do tend to have to change my IP once a week sometimes a bit more as for some reason 1 site seems to get blocked for no apparent reason
