Default force dhcp question

hi, this is prob really obvious but with me being new to all this its alittle frustrating, using force dhcp to locate mac addresses in my area ready to swap, i have a list of addresses, is there a way of telling how fast the speed of that mac address is with the info force dhcp is giving me. if so how.... greatly appriciated mike
p.s can you also get the mac id for that area i.e c&w ubr04, this is just an example. not actually online yet with v****n but got live feed into house, many thanks mike

Highlighting the Mac, the config should show on the right.

You're using DHCPforce to sniff Macs from your UBR, yet you want to know if you can find out what UBR they're from???

As posted in the stickys

Ex NTL:
cmreg-mota4100-rts98.cm - 2MB down 256k up
cmreg-mota4100-bas.cm - 10MB down 512k up
cmreg-mota4100-rts22.cm - 20MB down 768k up
cmreg-ntlhm100-rts98.cm - 2MB down 256k up
cmreg-ntlhm100-bas.cm - 10MB down 512k up
cmreg-ntlhm100-rts22.cm - 20MB down 768k up
cmreg-ntlhm120-rts98.cm - 2MB down 256k up
cmreg-ntlhm120-bas.cm - 10MB down 512k up
cmreg-ntlhm120-rts22.cm - 20MB down 768k up
cmreg-ntlhm200-rts98.cm - 2MB down 256k up
cmreg-ntlhm200-bas.cm - 10MB down 512k up
cmreg-ntlhm200-rts22.cm - 20MB down 768k up
cmreg-ntlhm250-rts98.cm - 2MB down 256k up
cmreg-ntlhm250-bas.cm - 10MB down 512k up
cmreg-ntlhm250-rts22.cm - 20MB down 768k up
Ex Telewest:
cm-512-128 - 512k down - 128k up
cm-2148-256 - 2MB down - 256k up
cm-10240-512 - 10MB down - 512k up
cm-20480-768 - 20MB down - 768k up
stb-cpe2-1024-256 - 1MB down - 256k up - 2 IP's (???)
cm-cpe2-2148-256 - 2MB down - 256k up - 2 IP's
cm-cpe2-4096-384 - 4MB down - 384k up - 2 IP's
cm-cpe2-10240-512 - 10MB down 512k up - 2 IP's
cm-cpe2-20480-768 - 20MB down 768k up - 2 IP's
class-cm-rts01.cm - 20MB down 768k up

Any Network Configs:
cmbus-pkg1-nat-any.cm - 4MB Down 512k up
cmbus-pkg2-nat-any.cm - 10MB Down 769k up
cmbus-pkg3-nat-any.cm - 20mb Down 1mb up
However, some area's have Dynamic config files, if your config files show up as something like "8754nnsdfh88''#sd" then you have dynamic config files, there isnt much info around about getting around this at the moment, however initial reports seem to suggest you cant force a config and have to use the one that is assigned to the mac address.
