Default Re: Mac Addresses

I tell you what i did...

Ran Sniffer, directly connected to my modem with firewalls turned off.

Went to wizard mods forum

Ask a mac swap near me

someone replied from 4 miles away, we swapped address.

I used the address he gave me

Worked

Hope this helps

( If you use a mac from your local area (UBR), the modem will keep restarting itself, as you cant have 2 of the same mac address in the same area) You need to find one close, but not too close :-)
