In mine understanding, no it cannot be done.

IMPOSSIBLE. Wish it weren't true. You can spoof a mac address on a computer but the authentic one is still detectable

MAC address is based on the hardware I believe so unless you swap out the WiFi module, you're stuck with that address.
Although, I was able to use an nVidia utility on my old laptop to assign a new MAC address but I'm not sure if this changed the hardware value or it just used the software to THINK it was the address.

"ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:00:00:AA:AA:AA"
This is how u do it for an ethernet card under linux.. wifi module is a source based build in pershoot if I know correctly. No idea how you can do it for wifi tho...

2nd what tbAlden said. but I doubt the busybox version of ifconfig will do it.

Are you using the latest version of Wifi Tether that supports setting up a true AP or still using an older version that only supports ad-hoc? Last I heard Android cannot see ad-hoc networks.
You are using adhoc. Android phones can't see that

They can see that. My Droidx sees it just fine.

Wifi Nat needs open. How?

I'm using a wifi adapter on my Xbox and using the hot spot on cyanogen 6 to tether it. It says the Nat is modarate and needs open. How u do this?

Is this possible?I'm connecting to Xbox live and can do everything except join a game in call of duty.

Wow.. I wouldn't even have thought about trying to run Xbox live through the Aria's tethering! Good for you! Now getting open NAT will probably be difficult, because usually it's a setting in the router that needs to be changed, but in your case the router is your Aria.
There's a video on this site showing how to set up Xbox Live using your Android Phone, but they use PDA Net and run the connection from the phone to a PC and then to the Xbox. It's 13 minutes and I didn't want to watch the whole thing to see if it addresses NAT, but it might be worth a view.

...and another one. Also using the PC in-between.

I had PDA net but laptop broke so this is my only way is wifi tether. I actually can pick up my neighbors wifi but only when he is there. I dunno if it has some kinda idle mode or what.

Wireless tether 4 root and Xbox live

Just wondering if anyone else is using the wireless tether app for their 360? I didn't think it would work since it doesn't work for wii but I just tried to connect and it worked, been playing multiplayer halo reach on it all week!
*disclaimer need the new xboxes I think, but maybe old one with the wifi adapter thing
I don't have a wifi xbox, but when My internet was down once I used my phone as wifi for my laptop, then shared my laptop's interent via cable... worked fairly well.
actually, wireless tether 2.06 should work for xbox or wii... it's in infrastructure mode on these phones. On older phones (like I came from a hero) it could only do ad hoc
I've used it for my 360...mostly black ops..but it works

what am i doing wrong
i was hoping some one could help me out, or at least point me in the right direction here. I'm trying to connect through my droid x. It's rooted and i have wireless tether for root users. I've watched videos and read forums and followed them step by step. I've also tried pdanet and internet sharing through my computer and cannot get that to work either. Like i said i've watched videos and followed them exactly so i will take any help i can get. Thank you.

Are you picking up the adhoc network on the xbox?
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
i can pick up my droid x's wireless network, or atleast it shows up when i scan for wireless networks. and when i try and connect it cannot connect to "androidtether" because it cannot find the IP addresses. so as for the ad hoc networks i'm not entierly sure. I'm kinda new at this type of stuff so you'll have to fogive me. But under configure connections it shows up as "infrastructure" as other forums has said it should.

(Guide) how to reduce lag while tethered to ps3 and playing online

Y'all are going to have to bear with me on this, this is my first time doing this lol.
Okay first of all this all started when I finally figured out how to bridge my conectiom from my phone-pc-ps3 and I was able to play online but it would be very laggy and slow. First thing I did was go to opendns.com and wrote down there DNS then I went to control panel on my win7 PC and went to network settings under wireless tether and then went to properties, then u click on ipv4 and go change DNS to manual I believe then u enter the DNS numbers from the website and click okay, then on your ps3 go to network settings-custom-wired and set everything to automatic except for the dns you'll want yo do manual and enter in the numbers. And finish the settings now on your phone I found kifnos 1.0 tweak helps alot and u can also grab set dns for root users in the market and change your dns from Google public to open witch greatly reduced my ping from 300- around 170 I hope this helps some of y'all.
Ps please forgive my spelling and run on sentences because its 2:53am lol
Also I'm pretty sure changing the dns on Xbox 360 works the same way

Good stuff. Get dome sleep and come back to clean this up. Separate those steps and lose the "do option x, I believe". Confirm, my man!

How do I do this with just tethering It workd on my lil bros evo Sunday never did before tho how do we get our heros to do that cause we had both our ps3s online playn blackops
Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA using XDA Premium App
u have to set up a bridge using an either net cable and on win7 its farely simple say your using wireless tether for example first u go to control panel network and internet and u click on the ssid or your access point then wireless network settings then another window will pop up and u go down to properties then sharing at the top and click enable after that u should see a pull down make sure u click local area connection assuming your using an eithernet cable from your ps3 or xbox to your computer then your bridge should be complete

The hotspot feature on evos don't use adhoc like barnacle or wireless tether so no need to set up a bridge but ps3 will not pick up an adhoc signle
