How do I “Clone” my computers MAC address to the InnoMedia MTA?
Some ISPs restrict Internet access to the first computer that was connected to the DSL/cable modem. This is done by registering the MAC address of the computer and restricting Internet access to that specific MAC address. Any device with a different MAC address will not be able to obtain an Internet connection. Many routers, including the InnoMedia MTA, resolve this issue by cloning the MAC address of your computer. To enable MAC address cloning on the InnoMedia MTA, follow these instructions: Find out the MAC address of your computer: 1. On the Windows taskbar at the bottom of your screen, click Start and then click Run . 2. Type cmd in the text box and click OK . A DOS prompt will be displayed in a new window. 3. Type ipconfig /all at the DOS prompt and press the Enter key. (Make sure that there is a space between “ipconfig” and “/all.”) 4. Write down the Physical Address, which is a 12-character code in the format xx-xx-xxxx-xx-xx. (Physical Address is another name for MAC Address.)
