YES it is. Open network connections click on the config button for the net card, go to advanced and select locally administered address, then enter a mac address in the box.

They are coded into the firmware of the device itself and assigned by the manufacturer. You can always put a second NIC in the machine and Nat thru it so it appears to come from a different NIC because in fact it would be. Does this help?

As a corollary to the question, how would one detect if a computer was changing its mac address? This is assuming that the network on which this machine is connected has DHCP enabled.
