We have a wireless ISP. When we first got it set up it just wasn't as fast as it should be. One of his instructions was to clone the mac address. After that was done the service kicked butt. I'm not sure what it does but it made a huge difference in both the up and down speeds.
We did the same thing to the satellite router and made a big improvement there to [ but you still have the delay time from here to orbit and back down. ].
That simply doesn't make sense. The purpose of the MAC address is to enable devices to communicate over the local network and nothing more. Also, once you've passed through a router, the original MAC is replaced that of the router port you're going through. Cloning a MAC makes it easier to replace a device in a system that's configured to work with only one MAC, but that's all it does. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
