I don't think you can set a mac address?
This code will get it (you'll have to put it into a plugin)

I found this following either in this forum or in the wiki.

Section "Get MAC Adress"

        SetPluginUnload  alwaysoff

        ClearErrors

        SetOutPath $TEMP

       !define maxsize 4096

        System::Alloc ${maxsize}

       Pop $3

        System::Call 'iphlpapi::GetAdaptersInfo(i r3r4, *l ${maxsize} r2)i.r1'

       StrCmp $1 0 0 finish ;in case of errors

        System::Call '*$4(i.r4,i,&t260.r5, &t132.r6, i.r7, l.r8)'

       Math::Script "hex={'0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','A','B','C','D','E','F'};"

       Math::Script "s=''; a=r8; b=r7; #{b-->0,s=s+hex***91;a/16%16***93;+hex***91;a%16***93;+#***91;b>0,'-',''***93;; a=a/256;}; r9=s;"

       MessageBox MB_OK "Adapter name is $5$\ndesc $6$\naddr len $7$\naddr $8$\nMacAddr: $9"

   finish:

       System::Free $3

       ; last plugin call must not have /NOUNLOAD so NSIS will be able to delete the temporary DLL

        SetPluginUnload manual

       ; do nothing

        System::Free 0

        Math::Script ""

   MAC_ENDE:

        ClearErrors

Thanks for the feeback, in a adanced tab in window's networking there is an option to change your Mac ID, We are using VM Ware. I am using NSIS to configure each specific vm ware image.
