So im at a hotel for a few days abd decided to try the xbox out on the wifi. Im sure youre all familiar with this. Cant be done, says the front desk. But a few minutes of google and reddit told me to change the xbox mac axdress to match my phones mac address.
(Im pretty sure the mac has nothing to do with macintosh computers, but other ppl ive asked have been confused. 'Xbox is mac comptible? WhaaAAT?)
In context with the Xbox 360, however, Microsoft recommends that you copy your home computer's MAC address as the alternative for the console (if you're experiencing connectivity problems); finding alternative MAC addresses means finding the one your computer's network interface card (NIC) has.
So anyway, all went well and it worked, mostly.
My question: i didnt write down the original mac address. Is my xbox screwed now for when i get home? Or is my phone screwed?
