"clone mac address".

WRT64G

I have a server (2003) and a PC (XP) connected to my router and a laptop (vista) wireless to the router. I connect to my server and PC thru 'mstsc' where I could use two of them through my laptop. Everything was fine until I wanted to go further to access my server via the internet (which I can do w/out for now). I started tweaking the router, and when I fell on the button for "clone Mac address" I from the PC. Now when I want to access my PC and the server I clone my Mac address from my laptop to the router and then I can't get on the internet until I have clone the Mac address to my PC. I guess I should write down Mac address, but I didn't and now I don't know how to get it back. And I guess that's where I went wrong, I'm not sure. Can someone tell me how to get back where I was? Or tell me what I need to use the settings.

Thank you

"clone mac address" means the process of duplication of the MAC address of one of the computers on your network to the port on your router Internet (WAN). This is generally only done under circumstances where your service provider equipment external Internet to your network is expected to see a certain MAC address before it will assign a WAN IP address to your equipment.

What some service providers used to make Internet was set up your internet connection and to register the MAC address that was on the device (usually a PC) that is directly related to their modem (or what they used to provide connectivity to their network). They would configure their network equipment to provide an IP address only if she saw this MAC address of your connection. If you have modified the equipment to connect to the modem, you must call to reset their equipment to account for your new MAC address. Most of the suppliers do no more, but the MAC cloning on the routers address is a way to circumvent the duty to call. If you have installed a router at some point after the original installation of your ISP and your internet connection does not work, you could try cloning your MAC PC address to the internet port of the router, thus deceiving their equipment into thinking that the same PC was still connected to the modem.

In most cases, MAC address cloning is no longer necessary (despite the recommendations of many here). There are cases where it can work to correct a connection failed, but it is rare.

There is no reason you need to clone the MAC address of your router, if your internet connection work before you start playing with trying to get RDP (mstsc) access to your devices from the internet. You need just the port to the RDP port on the router... but note that if you want to access these two machines on the internet, they will have to listen on different ports. You can use a registry editing in Windows to change the port used for RDP so that the XP and server box are tuned on unique ports.

  • Why is the MAC address Clone?

    When I disabled it Clone MAC address I lost access to the internet.

    Does anyone know why MAC address Clone is necessary and what it does?

    Clone MAC address changes the MAC address of the router on the internet port.

    You can use the function of the cloning MAC address to clone the MAC address of a computer if you used before your computer directly to the modem.

    Some ISPS (especially cable ISPS) only the customers to have an active internet connection at any time. To do this, check the MAC address, that is, they remember the MAC address that accessible line via the modem and lock the connection to this MAC address.

    If you test your internet connection directly with your PC first and then connect the router the router can not get an internet connection because the row is locked to the PC's MAC address. Now if clone you the address MAC from the PC on the router the router "pretended" to be PC and the ISP will accept traffic again.

    Usually, simply reset or turn on the modem to reset the lock again. Sometimes, you have to turn off the modem for a couple of hours (for example, through the night) after a few hours of inactivity the ISP removes the lock again. Sometimes call the ISP to remove the lock, but it's not very often.

    So basically, generally useless clone MAC address at all because you could accomplish the same thing by resetting the modem or it turned off for a few minutes. If you connect the router to the modem, ISP learns the MAC address of the router and it gets working internet connection. (Of course remember, that once a computer directly connected to the modem would not get active internet connection unless you change the MAC address of the computer to the MAC address of the router).

    But the function is useful if you do not want to. You simply set the MAC address of the connected device before, and you get a working internet connection.

  • E1200 cloning MAC address but not the PC

    My ISP requires MAC authentication on the router for internet access. They provide the router and register for this router to their access list.

    I'm not very happy with the router, that they provided, so I intend to buy an E1200 and clone the MAC address of my current router. But when I checked the router interface, of cloning mac page has a button saying 'Clone MAC from my PC'. And in the FAQ of E1200 page it says that the router can automatically capture the PC's MAC address. Which is not what I want to do.

    I want to manually enter the MAC address of my older router in this router to be cloned. Is this possible?

    Yes it is possible. Once you enable Clone Mac address of the router, click DO NOT Clone My PC Mac. Enter the mac address manually, then click on save settings. In this way the router will save the mac address you want to enter.

  • Advantage of the MAC address cloning?

    What is the advantage of the MAC address cloning?

    There is no "advantage" to clone the MAC address. The only benefit would be to have internet or not.

    In many cases, it is absolutely useless to use the clone MAC address. If you have an internet connection through your router, then there is no need to use the MAC address cloning feature.

    Only when you find that you have a working internet connection on a computer directly on your modem, but not when you connect through the router (or another computer directly into the modem) then it is necessary to use the MAC address cloning feature.

    Usually, this is only the case with cable TV ISP. They allow you to have an active internet connection single at any time. They do this by remembering the MAC address which connects via a specific modem. If you connect first a computer for testing directly to your modem, you will have an internet connection. Now if you connect a different device to your modem it does not work is because the ISP has always blocked the internet connection, the MAC address of the first computer.

    How to remove the lock depends on the ISP and the modem. Sometimes just reset the modem or to turn everything off. Sometimes you turn off everything for a few hours and after that the first connection device is the one with the internet connection (i.e. make sure you connect the router then...) If you want to know exactly how your ISP to do this, you need to ask...

    The simple solution is to use the MAC address cloning feature. The router "clones" the MAC address of the first computer, i.e. it basically pretends to this computer. The MAC address is accepted by the ISP and is immediately authorized to the network. You have a working internet connection on the first computer, either through the router directly because both use the same MAC address. (This is no problem on the router because the MAC address is used on the internet port only...).

    Of course, remember all this. If at some point later, you connect another computer directly to the modem (for example you have connection problems and want to know what is wrong) you can "lock" in a different MAC address for your connection and you will have to wait to find the connection to a different device.

    But once again: there is absolutely no need to use the clone if you have an internet connection through your router.

  • Back to 'mac address cloning.

    My latest issue of 'mac address cloning' has been resolved, but now I have another. Before, I had to reset my router to turn off and reset everything and it worked. Now I have to activate "clone mac address" to get my pc and the server let me contact them (thru 'MSTSC') with my wireless laptop and then I have to disable it to get on the internet. Is there a way for the pc and the server to be reset and start fresh?

    It is most likely a name resolution problem. When you don't have the address cloned MAC and you ping dan - pc, do you have the answers?

    Unless you have a server configured on your network, WINS all of your PCs have static on the router DHCP leases, or if you run your own internal DNS server, or if you have the file for all of your internal machines LMHosts entries, it is unlikely that you will be able to be able to resolve the names of the computers on your local network.

    Probably the easiest way for you is to refer to their IP address. If you have changed the port they listen to on, so you can access separately from outside your network (when you're not home for example) you must add this airport number to the IP address in the input address mstsc block, IE 192.168.1.10:3389 for them and 192.168.1.11:3399 for the other (this is for example... I don't really know the IP addresses or ports that you used...

  • Why must know the MAC address cable modem if I bought a new modem cable or ISP company.

    Original title: why the ISP or cable modem company need to know my cable modem MAC address if I bought a new one, beside that received from a modem cable or ISP company?

    Why the ISP or cable modem company need to know my modem cable MAC address if I bought a new one, beside that received from a modem cable or ISP company?

    The cable provides tend to lock their network by MAC address or they assign you an IP address based on your cable modem MAC address.

    Some (for example cable Telewest in the United Kingdom), used to go as far as locking down for the mac address of the PC connected to the cable modem, which is why some routers have the ability to clone the mac address of a connected device.
  • Cloning MAC address: Details?

    (BFSR41 c. 4.3) The 'MAC Clone of your PC' web interface clicks the button when two or more local hosts are connected to the router, that is it clone?  One connected to the lowest numbered local port?  The one that is connected to port 1?

    He clone the MAC address of the computer, which gives the command to "clone".   However, you may not be cloning your MAC address when others are connected to the router, as this can lead to temporarily lose their Internet connection.

  • Set the Mac address of vCloud VM

    Hello

    For a client, I need to clone a VM production regularly in vCloud for a test environment. The virtual machine must have an address identical Mac because of some outdated licenses. After cloning, it is there a way I can easily put the Mac address of the virtual machine to the original Mac address? Even if the virtual machines in the same environment of vCenter, but various groupings of ESXi hosts.

    It will not work for change the MAC on the main Board... Change the name of the virtual machine and the MAC for everything you need them to be.

    $vm = get-civm 'MyVMName '.

    $vm. ExtensionData.Section [2]. NetworkConnection [0]. MACAddress = "00:50:56:12:34:56."

  • Unique mac address of guaranteed for a VM on an ESX?

    Hello

    Please can someone help me understand how the ESX (i) ensure a unique virtual computers mac address assignment to the host.

    for example, let's say that if I have a virtual machine with the address mac x, then how do I gurantee ESX me it won't any other virtual computer with the same mac address in the same ESX host.

    Also, any idea on how these mac addresses are assigned to the VMs. is it a MAC common address by ESX resource pool?

    Thank you.

    If your ESX is managed by vCenter, then the MAC addresses are assigned from a pool that she maintained.  The vCenter monitoring assignments, and a duiplicate should be detected during VM startup (as a result of a clone to the virtual machine, for example), then a new MAC address is assigned to the pool.  Each vCenter has a unique ID, and so your vCenter have different unique ID they will not affect the same MAC

    It is possible duplicates to happen, if you have deployed masses of the VM vCenter pool can run out (not sure what the size of the pool is) and re - get used to MAC (but if you have masses of machinery the chances of both MAC duplicate appearing on the same subnet are probably very thin)-see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2006344.  In addition, if you manually assign MAC addresses, then I think not that the vCenter will search for a duplicate of the one at boot time.

    I guess that standalone ESX work pretty much the same way, maintain their own pool tio divy out ot VM MAC, using their unique ID to ensure that two ESX do not have the same basins.

  • View Composer and Mac addresses

    Hello

    We have recently seen configuration using the pools Linked Clone feature in the display manager.  However, the views that we have created need to have installed software that requires a MAC address to authenticate with the server software.  I see no problem going until it must spread out the updates and have to recompose the pools of the view.  Does anyone know if recompose a view will change the MAC address of the view, or it remains the same?  Any comments will be greatly appreciated.  I tried to look for the answer on advice here, but I can only find the results where requests for improvements are being made to manually configure the MAC addresses.  That would be nice, but it is not necessary for us right now.

    Thank you

    Adam

    I think what they say, it's in a pool persistent scenerio where the machine is assigned to a user, then the MAC will remain the same after a restructuring. Those not assigned to users would keep the same.

  • Make Unique MAC addresses for cloned library configurations

    I have a Setup / configuration library that has 2 models vm included.  How can I ensure that when users clone the configuration of the library of their workspace, it will give multiple users various MAC addresses for the NICs on those virtual machines?  Now when users clone the config from the library to the workspace, it errors out after 1 because they keep receiving the same Mac.

    The IP address and MAC to a library configuration does not change when you clone them to a workspace that they use network models.  Only a regular configuration will do it.

  • where can I find the mac address for Airport Extreme

    just bought a new Airport Extreme 802.11ac and I don't know here to find the MAC ADDRESS. Can someone tell me where to look. I have the model and serial number, but can not find the MAC ADDRESS.

    Is the AirPort Extreme, set up and operation right now... even if he could not have an Internet connection?

    If Yes... Open the AirPort on your Mac utility... (Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility)

    Hold down the option key on your Mac when you double-click on the image of the AirPort Extreme

    The next page will display a summary of the parameters

    The AirPort Extreme has done 3 different MAC addresses... Ethernet, WiFi 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi.   If your AirPort Extreme is connected to a modem by an Ethernet cable, then the Ethernet ID is the MAC address.

    If the AirPort Extreme has not set up yet at all...

    Open AirPort Utility as above, and then click the file menu in the upper left corner of the screen next to the Apple icon

    Click on configure the other

    For address, enter 10.0.1.1

    A password is normally not necessary, but if you are prompted for a password, use the word

    public

    Click OK, the settings summary page is displayed.  In most cases, given that the AirPort Extreme connects to a modem via an Ethernet connection, you want to use the Ethernet ID as the MAC address.

    If you are still experiencing difficulties, you have 90 days of support Apple phone. Call them and maybe they can explain why that should be a very simple task is so difficult.

  • no no pick host server el capitan. List [MAC Address]:unkown.home

    We have 21 iMacs running on the server (El Capitan, recently updated) and alone is binding. The solution is usually quite simple for users and groups in SysPref. Remove the server host and binding, find the available server in the option drop-down menu, but for some unknown reason, the server is listed as unkown-00-00-12-34-56-78.home , that I found is the MAC address of the server. I ran this in a terminal:

    sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist 

    and

    sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist 

    back to link the server in SysPref and correct server name option appears briefly and then changed back to "unkown-00-00-12-34-56-78.home" right before my eyes!

    You see "unkown-00-00-12-34-56-78.home" anywhere on the server?

    Is the correct server name a bonjour name? That is to say theServer.com? or is it a FQDN name? theServer.YourDomain.com?

  • The printer receives do not all data. It is caused by the MAC address filtering.

    How can I solve this problem.

    The printer attempted to join the network but does not receive any data.  This may be caused by the MAC address filtering. If MAC address filtering is enabled and you want to keep enabled, add the MAC address of your printer in the list of devices allowed for your wireless access point or router before continuing.
