You're listing two different MAC-addresses in your posting: 00:4c:69:6e:75:79 and 00:04:5a:87:c8:43 That would seem to imply you've got two NICs. However, the first address isn't valid - the first 3 bytes are not registered at the IEEE (you can look them up at standards.ieee.org) - whereas the 2nd MAC is a Linksys address. I don't what the story is with the first address, but try googling for it, and you get a number of direct hits. http://www.google.ch/search?hl=en&q=00%3A4c%3A69%3A6e%3A75%3A79 And for a MAC address that is supposedly universally unique, I wouldn't expect an awful lot of hits in google. /Per Jessen, Zürich (-4.38 °C) -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - managed anti-spam and anti-virus solution.
