[QUOTE="VegasGeorge, post: 970140, member: 21096"] I'm not sure about this, but I think I detected some confusion in the above posts. A "MAC" address has nothing to do with a Mac computer. "MAC address" is a technical term in networking jargon: In computer networking, a Media Access Control address (MAC address) is a unique identifier assigned to most network adapters or network interface cards (NICs) by the manufacturer for identification, and used in the Media Access Control protocol sub-layer. If assigned by the manufacturer, a MAC address usually encodes the manufacturer's registered identification number. It may also be known as an Ethernet Hardware Address (EHA), hardware address, adapter address, or physical address. [/QUOTE]
