Know Your Network, Lesson 2: Understanding Your Router’s Admin Page They are unique when they leave the factory, the first 6 characters specify the vendor, the last 6 specify the device, but if you go under the properties of the network adapter there's an option to specify the MAC. It's normally labeled something like Network Address, Physical Address, Locally Administered Address, etc. Wireless adapters are a little harder with Vista/Win7, but there are third-party programs that will do it for you. Routers can do this too, I think every home router I've seen has an option for it. As for your wireless, did you have multiple devices connected to the wireless?
Four little things that shaped India: Part 1 | The Kaipullai's Vetti Thoughts : The outer playground of my inner devil History books tell us that only events of tectonic magnitude, like say the Vasco Da Gama journey, shapes the history of the world. This post is not about events like that. This post is about some random little incidents from Indian history. Incidents, which are inconspicuous when viewed in isolation. So inconspicuous in fact, that they were eliminated from our History books. Can’t blame the textbooks though. It is not as if these things influenced our History.

How To Set Up Static DHCP on Your DD-WRT Router DHCP makes it simple to configure network access for your home network, and port forwarding makes it easy to those computers from anywhere. By configuring static DHCP on your DD-WRT router, you can combine the best of both worlds. The Problem with DHCP and Port Forwarding DHCP is great. You configure your router to automatically assign IP addresses and the computers on your network just plain work. Port forwarding is useful because you can access your router from outside of your network and be redirected to the computer you need inside of your network. Newer routers often have the ability to remember which IP address was assigned to which computer, so if they disconnect and reconnect their IP doesn’t change. We’ve touted DD-WRT’s ability many times before, and it’s not for nothing. Finding Your MAC Address The only real work you’ll have to do is find the MAC address of each computer’s attached networking card. Just go down to the icon in your system tray for your connection and click it.

"The egg" - Page 11 You were on your way home when you died. It was a car accident. Nothing particularly remarkable, but fatal nonetheless. You left behind a wife and two children. It was a painless death. And that’s when you met me. “What… what happened?” “You died,” I said, matter-of-factly. “There was a… a truck and it was skidding…” “Yup,” I said. “I… I died?” “Yup. You looked around. “More or less,” I said. “Are you god?” “Yup,” I replied. “My kids… my wife,” you said. “What about them?” “Will they be all right?” “That’s what I like to see,” I said. You looked at me with fascination. “Don’t worry,” I said. “Oh,” you said. “Neither,” I said. “Ah,” you said. “All religions are right in their own way,” I said. You followed along as we strode through the void. “Nowhere in particular,” I said. “So what’s the point, then?” “Not so!” I stopped walking and took you by the shoulders. “You’ve been in a human for the last 48 years, so you haven’t stretched out yet and felt the rest of your immense consciousness. “Sure.
Connect To Your Home PCs From Anywhere With DynDNS Have you ever found yourself at a friend’s house, wishing you could access the music on your computer? Or maybe you wish it was easier to connect to your VNC share from web cafes or your office? Maybe you’ve even tried writing down your IP address before leaving home specifically so you could connect?

Sony's PlayStation 3 experiences its biggest hack yet | Crave Hackers have found a way to break down one of the toughest defensive walls in Sony's PlayStation 3 software security, ensuring that those who use custom firmware can run homebrew software and pirated games forever. A group calling itself "The Three Musketeers" on Monday released a secret set of LV0 codes that can decrypt the PlayStation 3's Level 0 (LV0) security layer used by the primary boot loader. This means that hackers should always have the ability to release custom firmware for the device any time Sony updates the console's software. "This means that all future firmwares and all future games are decryptable, and this time around they [Sony] really can't do anything about it," Marcan, one of the players in the fail0verflow exploit, wrote in a related Slashdot thread. Unfortunately, unless your PS3 runs custom firmware, or can downgrade to a custom firmware, the exploit means relatively nothing -- for now.
