[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1631101, member: 307555"] When I read your post - before you edited it - that was my thought. By limiting connections to mac addresses it is easy to enter the wrong one. I manage the servers at work and I had an issue pop up that turned out to be my fault - I had reversed the order of two numbers in a mac address rendering the access point ineffective. It happens Just a brief note - while most are not sophisticated enough to figure this out, mac addresses can be spoofed which is why I have not used them for network id unless they have to have a static IP address, like for an access point, a networked printer or a server. But as I said most are not that sophisticated. Glad you got it fixed. Lisa [/QUOTE]
