Hi, I have just bought a Dlink DI-804 Internet Router and I am trying to setup the router with my optus cable connection. I am able to connect to the router via http: and run the DLink setup program. On the internet settings page there is an entry under Dynamic IP of a MAC address listing 00:05:67..... I have entered the Optus Computer Name CO....... and all the other settings I have left as default. Do I need to change the MAC address and if so how (I have tried using the "Specify a MAC address" and entering the MAC address of the USB ethernet adapter but it keeps resetting it back to the above. Do OPTUS need to be given the new MAC address and they make the change at their end????? Thanks Glenn.

You should not even need to put in your CO stuff. I have used optus cable and all you need to do is plug it into the router and set up your computers and that's it. Anyway to get a new mac would mean getting a new cable modem!!! I would not worry about the mac that shoud not be a problem. I don't know much about that router but I would expect that you would just need to enter the gateway and DNS address and that should be all Caveman
