Hello, does it work with AOL? Also does it work with both my wireless adapter mac address and my NIC mac address? Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by working with AOL. If AOL is your ISP then it should make no difference.

Yes, any MAC address in your system is hidden when Hide My MAC Address is properly used. Here is why:

Every networked device actually has two addresses. One is the IP address, which might or might not change. The other is the MAC address, which typically does not change. When you plug your Ethernet cable into your networked computer, you're plugging it into the NIC, or Network Interface Card. Like your mailing address at home, your computer's NIC has a unique address. This address must be unique in all the world. Otherwise, network traffic couldn't find its way to the right computer.

The distinctive address that identifies a NIC is called the Media Access Control (MAC) address. A MAC address is a unique character string, and since it identifies a specific physical device -- one individual NIC -- the MAC address, by convention, never changes for the life of the NIC. Two NICs never have the same MAC address. Because your NIC's MAC address is permanent, it's often referred to as the "real," or physical, address of a computer.

Therefor, the MAC address is a number that acts like a name for a particular network adapter, so, for example, the network cards (or built-in network adapters) in two different computers will have different names, or MAC addresses, as would an Ethernet adapter and a wireless adapter in the same computer, and as would multiple network cards in a router.

Hi,

I downloaded the trial to test it out, but it's not working alright.

When I click on 'Hide MAC' button, it shows my original MAC, and says it's hiding it.

i.e I don't see any new MAC address.

Please help me out.

If this works for me, I'd like to purchase it.


My system is Win Vista.

Thanks.

I restarted my system, and tried again - it's working fine now!

I also downloaded hide mac to see if it did what I wanted (using trial). The only problem I'm having is in order to see the entire tabs and buttons, I had to change screen resolution and dpi setting. Doing this is not a problem, but some of us have failing eyes! Is there anything that can be done so those of us who want your product don't have to suffer headaches from strained eyes? It does no good to use it if I have to squint to see what I'm doing. I had the same problem with hide ip last year when I bought it, but this hide mac makes me go even further into squintville. I just paid to upgrade hide ip and I hope it's not the same way sad.gif

Got it thanks. I will try it out. I had no luck trying to use another tool to make the text file but lets see if this works.
