mac address is assigned to your iphone can't be changed
its hardware dependent you would need to change the hardware.
or are you asking about the IP address ?

Yeah I knew it has to do with the hardware but its just a series of hex #'s;
There are programs to do it on a pc or mac, so u know its not the ip I wanna
change. I read on some website (which I can't find) of a guy who sshed into his iPhone and was able to change its mac address. I tried using Mobile Terminal using this code '& sudo ifconfig en1 (desired mac address)' but nothing. So anyone has any more ideas.......

I remember having problems in BSD over this a long time ago. Have you tried using ifconfig JIC?
[added later] Nope - was worth a try though, stranger things have happened.

On some *nix setups you can just do
ifconfig [interface] ether 01:02:03:04:05:06
to set your mac address to 01:02:03:04:05:06 until the next reboot of course.
I try this (with en0 as the interface) on my iPhone and it looses my terminal so it looks like something's changing.
