the IP address of the workstation on the LAN whose MAC you are cloning.

reside in France or Austria); otherwise choose Ethernet. Choose from RR-
Manager, RR-Telstra or RR- Toshiba if your ISP is Time Warner's RoadRunner;
otherwise choose Standard.
PPTP You need to know your login name, password and connection ID/Name. The latter
may not be obligatory for some ISPs, but if it is you must follow the “c:id” and
“n:name” format.
PPPoE You need to know your login name, password and service name. The latter may
not be obligatory for some ISPs.
