Hi I have a zgemma h2s had to flash it and now have a different mac adress, my iptv supplyer said to change my mac a dress back to what it was. Any one know how I can do this.
Thanks
 
easy to do

using putty telnet to the box

type following command

vi /etc/network/interfaces

you wil see the network config file

press the INSERT or INS key

go down to following line

iface eth0 inet dhcp

now under that line type following

hwaddress ether <mac address>


obviously substitute mac address

now press ESC key

then

:wq

(yes colon then w then q) which means write and quit

restart box for new mac address to become active

did you have a space between vi and /etc/network/interfaces

as VI is a Linux based text editor so the command is used to open up the network config file using vi
 
also no spaces in file name /etc/network/interfaces

s0 command is

vi<space>/etc/network/interfaces
 
if you want I can remote onto a laptop and do the changes
Think I've done it just put the :wq I'll restart box if that's worked do I just close putty born?
 
you can tell if it works if the IP address is now the old box's IP address

Thanks jfish that worked i was looking at xtream I'd and that was showing ID as the new mac but device info shows it's changed to the old mac. Thanks again for your help I've learnt a lot from you, your a star.
 
good to hear its sorted

one of the reason I am a big fan of open source boxs running Linux -doubt you could do this on say Mag boxs
