change mac address


changed my mac address and want to connect to my router->

ifdown eth0

ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:133:63:13:92

dhclient eth0

i connect to my router successfully but my browser can't open anything ( Firefox) but in terminal i can connect to each site but my browser is my problem , how can i fix it?

i followed this way:

ifconfig -a

eth0

Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:133:63:13:92

inet6 addr: fe80::213:d3ff:fe63:1392/64 Scope:Link

Hi,

I don't quite see what your problem is. Your network is ok, but firefox is having problems?

Can you give as specific hostname that you can ping but firefox can't load a page from?

Eg. "ping www.google.com" works but "firefox http://www.google.com" does not.

And can you confirm that firefox is not trying to use a proxy that does not exist?

Evo2.

Ps. This should have nothing to do with changing your mac address.
