Hi there,

i have a moded 255 (i think) its a black modem, my partner moded it and is currently looking for a MAC address, we can only find 2MEG ones..

ideally i'd like a 20 meg one so were trying that sniffer program and its coming up with loads of MAC addresses, my question is how can i tell what spead each MAC address is.?

thanks

You can't know for sure unless you try it mate. If the sniffer program shows random config names (a mixture of letters and numbers) then the MACs are dynamic and their is no way of identifying the speeds just by looking at the config filenames.
