Default Been scanning for two nights 2Mbit macs only

Hi,

As above really. Been scanning for the lat two nights and trying all that i have found.

The only ones that work are 2Mbit macs. I connot get anything else to work. I must have tested about 300 macs in the last 2 days.

Anyone else seeing this issue?

Need to scan longer, my first 20 odd was 2mbit ones, then I found a couple of 10meg ones! Changing the Desktop Mac address helped also...

As above mate, once you have it connected, google broadband speedtest, leave the config bit blank.
