[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1517687, member: 131855"] When you are looking for the Mac address in your router be careful not to refresh the list of clients by accident. That will wipe out any Mac numbers that might have been there. Here are a few other ideas: 1. Check the security logs and if they are time-stamped focus on a period when you know you were using the Mac. 2. if Mac filtering was turned on is to look at the IDs of those devices that are let through. With some situations in the past I would look at the MAC address of the router. Some routers allow the router to take on the MAC address of one of the devices connected to it. Though you generally have to actively select that option. Hope I didn't completely confuse you [/QUOTE]
