Didn't think you could change tha MAC address, thought this was permanent to what ever hardware device it is given to when made. The IP address gives it the route, the MAC address is unique and permanent to the device, IE MAC adress of modem, network card ect.

It's the IP address that will change as it is dynamic on the network and not static, this is something given to the modem via the DHCP server.

So you can't force a change until the lease has expired and your given a new one. you may need to turn off the modem for a few days for this to happen.
