Trusted Ethernet Addresses
If you wish to permanently authenticate a guest computer, you can add its
MAC address to GUESTGATE’s configuration. GUESTGATE will not show the
welcome page to any computer that has been entered here.
You can obtain the MAC address of a connected computer from the
GUESTGATE status screen, or you can perform the following steps (example:
Windows 2000/XP).
1. Click on “Start” —> “Run.”
2. Type in “cmd”; press “Enter.”
3. At the DOS command prompt, type “ipconfig /all” and press “Enter.”
The physical address is the MAC address that needs to be entered in the
configuration of GUESTGATE.
The format is: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (not xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx).
