Need to disable "Block Anonymous Internet Requests" with "Clone MAC address?"

Ok -- so I learned from tech support and this forum that the "Clone MAC address" option needs to be enabled when connecting to the Internet via a cable modem. In one of the forum posts (sorry lost track of which one), it said that in addition I need to disable "Block Anonymous Internet Requests" as well -- is this correct? If so what is the effect of this? Linksys documentation is not clear if this is absolutely necessary.
I think the comment is in this thread

Usually resetting you cable modem will allow you to use a router without cloning the MAC address. Reset modem, power down, plug router into the modem, power up the modem, power up the router and you should be good to go. The popular reason that I know of for unchecking "Block Anonymous Internet Requests" is when you plan to use P2P software like Azureus. Your computer becomes pingable and can be seen on the net.

With the Lion it is essentially unnecessary to resort to external driver disks. What's more, most of those disks are incompatible with the OS and should not be used. The system already carries a wide variety of printer description files (aka PPDs, which is what modern printing systems use as "drivers") for a lot of brands. And there was an HP printer update just two days ago.
Just checked in mine and did indeed find that the HP OfficeJet 6200 Series, with or without Fax, is covered with the latest update.
So just go thru the motions of creating a proper printer instance:
Make sure the Mac "sees" the printer on the network.
System Preferences / Print & Scan
Click on the + button on the left column
Select the appropriate type of printer, will use IP for the rest of this
Select HP Jetdirect - Socket, default for HP network printers
Type the IP address or look it up
Name the printer for easy identification on the print dialog
Let the Mac identify the printer model or manually choose the driver
Click Add.
Once the instance pops up in the list, can click on Options & Supplies for further config.

ISP blocks my APBS due to various MAC addresses used by the router

Hi all,
My Internet provider limits access to Internet over Ethernet cable
for fixed MAC address(s). That means, I have to inform ISP of the
only MAC address I'll use to transfer data. In the case ISP detects
traffic with other MAC addresses on my cable, he blocks any traffic
at all (until cable unplugged and kind of 30secs are waited).
My configuration is APBS GigaN with "shared public IP" and with
MacBookPro connected over embedded WiFi AirPort N card.
I reported EthernetID of my APBS to ISP, but stuck into the problem
that all the time router is blocked. It successfully receives
IP settings from DHCP of provider, and then passes nothing in/out.
The provider said he can see the packets with different MAC addresses,
as I understood these MACs are exactly AirportID and EthernetID of
APBS. Why is it happening so, when "shared public IP" with DHCP
and NAT are selected? Why MAC address of wireless card of APBS is
visible to outside? What can I do with it, supposing that provider
can't fix the case on his side?
Regards,
Strim

kevj is right, Your linksys router has 3 MAC address and they all are assocciated with each other.

WPA with local MAC address authentication

Can Cisco Aironet AP support WPA encryptions with local MAC address authentications as the current setup i have do not have a radius server to authenticate my users.
i tried configuring with local MAC address but no success.

Try this:
conf t
access-list 700 deny xxxx.xxxx.xxxx 0000.0000.0000
access-list 700 deny xxxx.xxxx.xxxx 0000.0000.0000
access-list 700 permit 0000.0000.0000 ffff.ffff.ffff
dot11 association mac-list 700
Replace the xxxx.xxxx.xxxx with each host you want to allow on the AP. This will block any other MACs from accessing the AP. This is not by SSID, this is by AP, so let me know if this will work for you.

Computer names persistently associated with a MAC address causing problems

Our WDS server will assign out a computer name like CompanyName### This is great.
The problem is sometimes WDS will assign a computer name that is getting associated with the MAC address somehow--I assume this is what's happening--and kick a computer off the domain that now has that computer name.
Is there some way I can disable the association of computer names with MAC addresses, or persistent computer names?

Hi,
How did you define your naming policy in WDS or in your answer file?
3.1.1.4 Machine Naming Policy

Please also check this hotfix:
Windows Deployment Services generates duplicate client computer names when the %MAC variable is used

Synching desktop Address Book with my .Mac Address Book. Is it possible?

Can i sync my desktop address book with my .Mac address book?
Thanks.

I am also having this problem with my address book synching to .Mac. But my calendar and bookmarks have appeared with no problem so I'm not doing anything wrong -and I haven't created custom profiles either. Do you really think this is due to the lead up to Mobile Me? If so, why did the bookmarks etc sync with no problem? It is frustrating because this is what I really need to access.

ISE 1.2 disable endpoints with certain mac address

Hi All,
We have an AD to authenticate for wireless users. In AD, we have specified to block the user if the password is entered wrongly for more than 3 times. The problem is some of them are using other user ID and locking the accounts. I have gotten the MAC address of the user. Can anyone please advise how to block the request from this MAC from even reaching the AD.
Thanks

You have two options from ISE and one option from the WLC:
The first option which is not very scalable is to modify your authentication policy to deny access to an specific MAC address(Radius:Calling station ID). But this is not very scalable as you can only specify one MAC address.
Your second option is to enable the anomalous client suppression(under systems->settings->protocols->RADIUS). This will be your best option but it would require a bit of testing to identify what are the best values for your environment.
From the controller you can enable the excessive 802.1x authentication failures. By default it won't even send the fourth authentication to ISE for a failing endpoint:

Help connecting my internet mail with my MAC mail

I apologize for asking so basic questions but I am lost... I have an account [email protected] that I can access on the internet.
I would like to connect that account with my MAC mail. It appears so simple but I tried about everything but it does not work. I tried setting the following parameters: email address: [email protected] (it works when accessing it on the web), incoming server: pop3.live.ca, outgoing server: smtp.live.ca, both SSL are set to on (port 995) with the password (the same that I use for accessing my web mail). It should work isn't it? But when the wizard try to access the servers, it says that the servers are not reachable.

Hi CaptFred, you made it work! That's great. Could you please take a moment to give me the settings that you used and any other tips that you might have? Thanks a lot for your help.
If you want to see messages on the server web page and receive them at home go into Mail's Preferences, Accounts tab. In there highlight the web email account and in the little tabs select the 'Advanced' tab. You can then tell mail to leave messages on the web server for so many days (your choice). This way you can see the email on the web server and at home on your Mac.

802.1x phone with two MAC address

Hello,
I have following scenario: Computers are connected behind phones, and phones are authenticating with MAB. The problem is with phones, because they have two mac addresses one is in voice vlan and another is in data vlan. Both phone and computer are authenticated successfully but when switch sees additional MAC address of phone in data vlan it shuts down port. Here is sample configuration:
interface FastEthernet0/1
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 10
switchport voice vlan 15
authentication host-mode multi-domain
authentication port-control auto
dot1x pae authenticator
authentication violation shutdown
mab
spanning-tree portfast

Can you verify if the phone's mac address is being learned on the data vlan and the voice vlan? Because cisco phones use cdp to discover if a voice vlan is configured on the switchport before forwarding traffic.
Please issue a show mac address table interface x/y after bouncing the port to see what is causing the port to error disable.
Also what version of code is running on the switch and phone?
Thanks

Thinkcentre Edge M-Series with duplicate mac address

We have a lot of Edge M-Series all with the same MAC address appears in Bios (F1), using Windows 8.1 perhaps need to modify media access control with custome address, it's there an Bios update available or any issue to fix this ?

Have you updated to the latest BIOS?
If so, then: In device manager/network adapters, check the intel ethernet device, under the advanced tab, the ability to set the locally admin address (MAC.)

ISG session with duplicate mac addresses - ASR 1k

Hello all,
I have an issue with current ISG implementation on ASR 1k.
We have subset of subscribers that are authenticated based on their mac address and another subset that are authenticated based on their c-vlan/s-vlan tag which is derived from nas-port-id. If two subscribers have identical mac addresses and one is authed based on mac and the other is based on c-vlan/s-vlan, the last one to auth kicks the previous authenticated session and takes it's place, which is totaly unacceptable.
For subscribers with mac based auth, session initiatior is unclassified mac address, as for c-vlan/s-vlan based auth it is dhcp request.
Forgive the lack of details, if anything I am ready to supply any available and open info. Personaly I think this is just shortcoming of ASR 1k s ISG implementation, because I know for a fact that 9K BNG handles this situation very well and has a more precise definition of c-vlan/s-vlan than 1k.
Any ideas on how to tackle this?

Hi,
Not sure if it would be possible since mac address is probably being used as a session key for both sessions (that's why the latest subscriber to come up, takes over the first one) even if you are using different identifiers (mac-address vs c-vlan/s-vlan).
Are these L2 subscribers or routed subscribers?
Could you provide a configuration of the ISG?
Regards.

Router receives a frame/packet with unknown MAC address

Hi Everyone,
Lets assume that a router received a frame/packet on an interface due to switch did not have the destination mac address listed on its mac address table and therefore broadcatsed this packet out of all ports, and router receives that packet that was not even intended to reach it. Would the router route that packet or drop? Just wondering if my assumption is true and router would drop a frame/packet that it receives on an interface if the destination MAC address of this frame/packet is not a MAC address of the routers's interface that it was received on.
Thanks!

Hey but I don't think router ever does a destination mac check! (that's surprising indeed), looks like router does not check the destination information, until it strips off ip packet from the frame! have a look at what a router does when it receives a frame (with any destination mac addr) here:-
