ISPs use the information for authentication purposes, so you must
select the check box and enter the requested information for your
WAN type.
Some providers require the Ethernet address (the MAC address) of
the computer that is connecting the Cable/DSL modem to authenti-
cate the connection. If you are connecting the router to the modem
instead, you must select the check box for
Device MAC Address
and enter the WAN MAC address of the router (found in the Device
Status and Device Information pages).
Note : Do not enter the colons between the numbers, as the fields
are already separated within the page.
Note : If you have a single computer attached to the Cable/DSL mo-
dem, you may also use your computer’s network adapter card MAC
Address to allow access to the Internet. Find your card’s MAC Ad-
dress from Windows 98/Me by running
winipcfg , or from Windows
2000/NT by running ipconfig /all . To find a Macintosh's Ethernet
MAC address, select "Get Info” from the File menu of either the
AppleTalk or TCP/IP Control Panel. Again, do not enter the colons
that appear within the MAC address, as the fields are already sepa-
rated within the page.
