Ok, I'm used to Slackware and using ifconfig up/down to use the GNU Macchanger. But I'm new to Debian and have tried both the ifconfig and /etc/init.d/network stop/start/restart options but I always seem to get an error. Generally it is an unresolved DNS error.

I always have to reboot my computer to get my eth0 back up and then it resets my faked MAC.

I'm not sure how to fix it. I'm not new to computers but I'm new to the realm of networking and fixing DNS errors.

Thanks to all who help in advance.

Why do you need a fake MAC address ?
What are the error messages?

The same commands should work in debian

Somehow DNS errors and MAC address issues don't seem to be very related to me. Could you post the exact commands you're typing and the exact error message you're getting?

Ok, using ifconfig I get "connect: Network is unreachable"

and using /etc/init.d/networking I get "ping: unknown host www.google.com"

First you shouldn't need a fake MAC unless your trying to bypass for a network. Or you are extremely paranoid, and if that is the case you should try setting up the network with everything set to default. If it doesn't auto then you should find out why... Like if your getting an unknown host error and you have access to internet somehow (as in being here) then you could find out the IP of google and ping that. Also, if you are being a router it's not your problem, it's the routers... =P But yes, first try to ping an IP, if that doesn't work then your not getting a signal from the ISP (or gateway).

I fixed the issue.
It turns out it's wasn't a DNS issue, it was that my dhcp never gave me a new IP because I forgot to run the dhclient to reassign an IP.

Thanks for all the help guy.
