[QUOTE="RomanticFool"][QUOTE="brotherreese"] No. Not possible. The MAC addess is built into the hardware itself.
You can change the IP address however you see fit (within reason), but the MAC address is permanent.

This is not entirely true...
You can change your MAC address in your computers, etc. There's probably a way to do it for the PS3, you'd just have to know how to access the settings and what not. To give you an idea, in a *nix you can change it through command line and the ifconfig command (mac os x, unix, linux). In both windows xp and windows vista, you'll have to use registry edit. For the PS3, its most likely very possible to do it - but its definitely impossible without the right tools, which I'm pretty sure only a DevKit might have.
No. The only way to change a MAC address in your computer is to change your NIC. The MAC address is a built into the NIC. You can't edit the registry, or hack the system to change the MAC. I can understand changing the IP address, buy why would you even consider messing with your MAC address?
No, it's VERY possible to change the MAC on hardware....It's "must have" knowledge for anyone who has ever worked in a IT/IS help desk position. It's supposed to be next to impossible to happen, but every once in awhile you'll have two stations that have identical MACs...which of course will cause a conflict. Even though changing out the NiC takes no time at all, it's even faster to just change the MAC. Not sure why you find it so hard to believe.....
