NETGEAR DG834GT MAC Issue
golfbgud
I was trying to add a TOSHIBA Laptop to my internal wireless network today and failed because it kept telling me it was an invalid MAC address (which it isn't).
MAC address starts with "1C".
I tried entering it as "00" and then trying to restore from backup cfg file but this would not work either!
Any help/advice?

Most MAC addresses start with 00, maybe the Netgear doesn't like one that doesn't. Check the properties of the NIC, you
may
have an Advanced tab with a NetworkAddress value you can change.
I have one of these routers, but I'm not at home to check it.

Anyone else got some ideas? Thanks.

I've just connected to my DG834GT, after spoofing my MAC to start with 1C, and it got an IP address just fine. Mine has the SKY firmware on it, but I doubt that makes a difference.
