Field		Description
MAC Address		The MAC Address is the 48-bit Ethernet address of the router’s INTERNET port.
Assigned By		Set to Factory default to use the router’s internal globally unique MAC address.
		Set to ‘IP address attached on LAN’ to acquire and substitute the MAC address of
		one of your PCs on the local network. Some ISPs will only accept traffic from the
		MAC address of one PC. This feature allows your router to masquerade as that PC
		by using its MAC address.
IP Address		If you selected IP address attached on LAN in the previous field, you must specify
		the IP address of the local PC with the MAC address to be used by the router.
