Yes.... and for Linux, the software is..... IFCONFIG :-(
Just type "ifconfig eth0 hw ether 11:22:33:44:55:66", and it's done.
Too simple :-(

I've done it.
I'm using WEP.
But I'm not sure if WEP are secure enough :-(
I heard, it is possible to break WEP.
So, I block connection using MAC address also.
But now..... it's again very easy to break :-(
Ok, thank you for all reply....
I will learn more about autentification, L2TP and IPSec.
