Where I went to college, we had a novell server. with those you define the Network node name in hex, or use a random generated one. For the longest time it was set as BA:BE. Somone finally noticed after about 3 years and being PC made us change it. so we changed it to DE:AD:BA:BE. they didnt like that either....go figure. the machine was called FUBAR, and eventually someone explained that to them as well and we had to change it, about that time they "Upgraded" to NT so the system was REALLY FUBAR but it was called something else all together.

If I decide to spoof my mac, I'll follow Sith4dmin and use 00:0A:DE:AD:BA:BE
