The first few bytes in a MAC address are a manufacturer code <http://www.iana.org/assignments/ethernet-numbers>, that should help a little. My WAP doesn't have an address. It's completely transparent. There's probably a way to tell that it's there, but it wouldn't be easy. It behaves exactly like a switch. (Which means that my provider gets exactly the amount of control they want, we're allowed to have switches.) _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://phantom.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/newbies
