MAC Cloning For Cable Connection

Some cable Internet service providers require that device connected to the
cable modem has the MAC address of the PC that was originally registered
with the cable Internet provider. If this is required to set up the DVG-1402S,
follow the steps below.
1. On the computer that was originally registered with your service provider.
For Windows 98/Me users: Go to Start > Run > command. Type in ipconfig/
all. The physical address listed is your system's MAC address.
For Windows 2000/XP users: Go to Start> Run > cmd. Type in ipconfig/
all. The physical address listed is your system's MAC address.
For Mac users: Click the Apple icon in the upper left hand corner of the
screen. Go to System Preferences > Network and click on the network
device you use to connect to the Internet. Click the Ethernet button. The
ethernet ID listed is your system's MAC address.
2. Write down the MAC address of your system. This address is written in the
following format: 00:aa:bb:11:22:33.

is 192.168.15.1). Log into the Web-based management module (see the
