If your ISP allows access from only one specific computer’s Ethernet MAC address, select
“Use this MAC address.” The firewall will then capture and use the MAC address of the
computer that you are now using. You must be using the one computer that is allowed by the
ISP. Otherwise, you can type in a MAC address.
Note: Some ISPs will register the Ethernet MAC address of the network interface card in your
computer when your account is first opened. They will then only accept traffic from the MAC
address of that computer. This feature allows your firewall to masquerade as that computer by
using its MAC address.
