Thanks for the security tip.  My Linksys router only allows MAC filtering by 
listing MAC's that should be blocked......and to this end I think we should 
ask that all crackers register their MAC's.     ;-)

I found out that the DLink DI-514 has the feature you mention above, except 
that you get to choose whether it blocks MAC's not on the list or blocks only 
those MAC's on the list.  Best Buy has them cheap (after rebate) now, so I've 
switched.  I've already tested the feature using 2 laptops.

For those of you with Windows machines:  I've found the easiest way to get the 
MAC in Windows is to execute 'ipconfig /all' at the command prompt.

Thanks again,

Andrew Gould
