This works incredibly well: I did'nt think it was so easy to spoof the MacAddress, so I pinged another PC in the network and checked with "arp -a" command. Here are the results:
C:\>arp -a
Interfaccia: 192.168.0.30 --- 0x10003
Indirizzo Internet Indirizzo fisico Tipo
192.168.0.33 00-10-5c-ad-7d-2e dinamico

C:\>arp -a

192.168.0.21 00-c0-95-ec-b7-93 dinamico <-- DHCP didn't recognize me and gave me a new address!!!

Blank name above me:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentNullException' occurred in mscorlib.dll

Additional information: Value cannot be null.

The line of code is
regKey = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(Addr, True)

Sorry, couldn't get it to run with the error.
