I believe TCP/IP precedes MAC address assignments by a few years... IIRC, MAC was developed because of the difficulty determining which system got what packet.

As I mentioned in the first post, I'm no expert. For the moment, this works, for me.

tlmiller, I did some looking, and I can't use networkmanager Sad but thanks for telling me about it. Hopefully they might get my driver integrated in the future... I use the rt73 driver.
From the hardware compatibility site:
Quote:
Driver: rt73
Status: Doesn't work with NetworkManager, but driver is good enough to get WEP/unencrypted connections "by hand"


OK, OK, I'll stop hijacking the thread now Smile

Well, somehow the WRT54GS has had its login and password changed.

Thanks to somebody!

I had massive outbound traffic at around 9:30 pm last night and again tonight, so tonight I wanted to shut down each dhcp client via its mac address. Could not log in to the wrt tonight.

Linksys says press and hold the reset button 30 seconds. I held it for about 1 minute, the router never reactivated after that reset, so I powered it off. 2 minutes off made no difference - still no login.

I sure hope my Windows clients have not caused a security breach... Or possibly I did the damage somehow. Somewhere, someone is laughing.

Router was quite hard to reset. After a couple days powered off, and after 2 minutes of pressing the reset button, I have regained login. *-:
