Re: Mac address

I find it hard to believe it to be a virus, but i don't disagree 100% with you. It is screwing up my machine a bit. Its a fresh install on a formated drive. I used a nuke program to completely wipe th HDD, i had to partition it and format it before use. I don't think a virus can survive that (can it?). I'm going to have a look in the bios, and also 'control panel, network connections, status and properties' to see if the address is showing up there. If it is i would guess its a software problem. If its not showing there (which i bet it isn't!) i guess its a hardware fault. I've got a seperate PCI 10/100 card i can plug in and install. I'll see if thats any better.
