As long as you do not duplicate a MAC address on a broadcast domain all should be ok. Last I checked if you WEB connect to the linksys from the PC that you first connected to your ISP with there should be an easy to use page where the linksys will all but ask you to "present" the MAC address of your PC to your ISP. Look at the wan side not the lan side config pages. Make sure you set a passwd on the linksys. -- T o m M i t c h e l l /dev/null the ultimate in secure storage.
