router to clone the MAC address. The directions are shown below.

You may need to obtain your exact HOST NAME from the ISP. Many

below:
Windows 9x/ME

Windows 2K/XP

section and type in the host name exactly as you wrote it down earlier. Then click
the “Apply” button. Wait about 10 seconds and then click on the “Status” link on
