[QUOTE="Jeep3, post: 1732219, member: 383610"] I have a MacBook pro with a MAC address that is showing up under my Apple TV as the Ethernet connection. All connections are wireless. I have multiple MacBook pros, iPhones, iTouches, thermostat, pc’s (only thing hooked up through Ethernet), iPad, nooks etc….all running on my home network. I have a Linksys wrt1900acs router When I go to my router network analysis and look at the “device info” for my Apple TV I see two IP address, one for wireless, which is correct and it has the correct MAC address for the Apple TV, and another IP address for Ethernet (not hooked up) which is the MAC address for a MacBook pro. Somehow my MacBook Pro’s MAC address is showing up under my Apple TV. Don’t know if this is important but it’s an older MacBook Pro, I also have two newer MacBook Pros that are hooking up just fine. I have turned off the Apple TV and my router recognizes the MacBook pro no problem, I even assigned it a preferred IP address, but once I turn on my Apple TV my router doesn’t see the MacBook Pro, MacBook is still hooked to the Wi-Fi and runs just find, it just doesn’t show up on my list of network connection. Looking for some help here…….. Jeep [/QUOTE]
