I think you want to assign an IP address.
MAC = Ethernet hardware address (unique in all the world).
IP Address = xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa = Internet Protocol address. May not be unique (e.g. 192.168.xxx.yyy are "private" and aren't routable.)
Be that as it may, [link|https://wwwcoms.murdoch.edu.au/macaddress.html|How to obtain your MAC address] - I don't think you need that.

HTH a bit. Good luck!

but, yes, you sent me to the right place.
I will try it tomorrow and let you know how it goes.
Thanks Scott. I can always count on you O:)

Out here in California MAC address can be needed.
Some of the cable companies lock your access to the MAC address of the network card they set up the service with. To put multiple machines on the connection with a router the router must be set to spoof the MAC address of that network card. The Linksys routers I use have been able to do that for years and I'm sure any other Cable/DSL router can as well.
Other than that, most people don't even need to know there is a MAC address.

Well...there *is* MAC filtering...
...a useful security feature of (especially wireless) routers to help thwart wardriving (although WEP or WEP/PSK is probabaly sufficient). I have both (MAC filtering and WEP/PSK) on my router.

All I know is, it's working. When it stops working,
I'll coming running back here, arms flailing, pleading to the Gods That Be TM for help. :-)

TA DA!
I did it! Now I really think I need a raise :)
Thanks again, Scott.
And thanks, Andrew, for your input as well. I hope someday my knowledge will be as useful to you.
Hugs,

Your knowledge is already useful
Where else can we go to get an unbiased woman's opinion? You, Laura, and Brenda provide us with the needed feminine touch, logic, and intuition.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. (Herm Albright)

You are so kind
although Critter would say that feminine logic is an oxymoron (da bastid!)
