I know it sounds strange it's very frustrating, I am not sure why this is happening and I remember the same thing going on before I found APC, Terminal is just about as fun as DOS was for me on Windows, I'm a uI man, not a coder.Īs for the last four scenarios I just cannot comply with them, given my situation. I tried looking back over what I had done and could see it was the initial "sudo ifconfig en1 ether a2:85:9e 🆎68:64" command you gave of that last section but I can't change it to anything else now (via Terminal). Not sure what's going on but found some info here:īut I notice now that one of your final commands did work, my IP now "a2:85:9e 🆎68:64" for some reason, I was copying & pasting it in and noticed, after some time, that it had changed. The IP address shown is my actual one, nothing unusual as I'd just rebooted to get into Admin mode. I tried experimenting with the other commands by dropping sudo but that didn't help. However the final command did work, but of course there were no changes, I did however have to drop the "sudo" element for it to work. Having fallen at the first hurdle I put this down to not being loved in as Admin, this I think turned out to be the case as I could get the first command to work, now logged in as Admin.īut I had a problem with the second command "sudo ifconfig en0 aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff", I knew that I was "en1" and changed it accordingly and changed the IP to one of the ones from my last post, but nothing worked, I kept getting a "bad value" error from before, this is what frustrated me into looking for an app like APC in the first place. So it's still got the old habits of APC, unfortunately. When the IP changed then it was reflected in the Preference Pane itself, I confirmed this by checking my router's settings page in a browser also. It's the same with the Pref Pane option as it will not change my IP unless I manually disassociate myself, as well as being a Golden Gun affair, in that I would have to actually close down and re-open System Preferences each time I attempted to change the IP, this I know as I was testing from a list of known IPs to work and those that didn't. That is, with AirPortClown, I would have to disassociate myself from my WLAN manually, then invoke APC and make the changes, however, like that 007 film The Man with the Golden Gun (1974), it only works once and if for example the IP entered wasn't accepted then I would have to close and re-open APC, significantly the IP would not change unless disassociated, manually. I think I've found the problem, it was much the same as before, so I'm not sure if it's my computer or not, but it seems to be the same. when the IP is successfully changed then a GROWL notification be shown. Perhaps then, this is just a personal preference, that only the positive elements be highlighted i.e. The problem is when you've set the number and let it go, much like a sling-shot - one expects it to keep on travelling in the desired direction and not end in the anti-climax of the conker still in the sling, the IP should change.
Is there then a way to highlight the fact, to possibly draw the users eyes to the area of contention, that a change has not been made without the need for a dialogue box or a GROWL notification?
How about then, if possible, have a red background flash for a second behind the IP not changed? I have disability settings configured so that the window will flash when an error occurs, it's a nice effect, but not on by default, to my knowledge.

Not only was this and has this always been an issue, but in this very early beta there is no indication that the new IP did not work, it's always annoying to have a dialogue box to basically tell you something that you can't do anything about, in this instance I'd take the approach that a prevention is better than a cure and as such always have the code work, but I understand this might well be a prevailing problem for a reason - too many combinations to be known which will and will not work.
