Router’s MAC Address: This section determines the Ethernet MAC address that will be used
by the firewall on the Internet port. Some ISPs will register the Ethernet MAC address of the
network interface card in your PC when your account is first opened. They will then only
accept traffic from the MAC address of that PC. This feature allows your firewall to
masquerade as that PC by “cloning” its MAC address. To change the MAC address, select
“Use this Computer’s MAC address.” The firewall will then capture and use the MAC address
of the PC that you are now using. You must be using the one PC that is allowed by the ISP. Or,
select “Use this MAC address” and enter it.
