First before you worry about this make sure your cable provider actually imposes a requirement to use a specific mac address. If they don't, and you never remember giving them a mac address before then just don't worry about it. If for some reason you must provide a mac address, turn over your old router and read the mac address off the bottom and key it in and select use THIS mac address, which means the netgear is to pretend its mac address was what you keyed in rather than what is burned in silicon inside. Really, this is very seldom necessary, unless you had a static IP or something. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
