NETGEAR DG824M manual Procedure 2-7 Wizard-Detected Fixed IP Static Account Setup

Reference Manual for the Model DG824M Wireless ADSL Modem Gateway

If your ISP allows access from only one specific computer’s Ethernet MAC address, select “Use this MAC address.” The gateway will then capture and use the MAC address of the computer that you are now using. You must be using the one computer that is allowed by the ISP. Otherwise, you can type in a MAC address.

Note: 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 gateway to masquerade as that PC by using its MAC address.
