Hi,

In that first command that Chris gave you, you'll want to type the hex addresses, rather than the numeric IP address. That is, it should look like:
"sudo if config en0 ether 00:05:02:XE:XX:XX" (substitute the real values for the Xs as you did before and don't include the quotes).

The second time you ran the command, it looks like you included the "%" character. I think NTLVictim included that to show you what the command prompt looked like, but it wasn't meant to be part of the command itself.
