Special Forums IP Networking Unable to connect to internet on slackware 14.1 (hathway connection) Post 302897524 by pinakbheed on Monday 14th of April 2014 02:07:16 PM

the problem with the provider is that they store the MAC address of the pc the router was first connected to and allows connection only on that pc. I have a PC and a laptop. The router was first connected to my desktop and identifies that only. That's why i cannot access internet on my laptop or any other pc through the connection I have.

I read about this somewhere, that we can clone MAC address on other machines to match the recognized MAC address. So I changed the MAC address and it worked. I have used it on my laptop with windows and puppy linux. Now I have removed both and installed slackware. But, I can't seem to get it working in slackware. That's the fix I'm in.

NAME
mactelnet - A tool for telneting via MAC addresses SYNOPSIS
mactelnet [options] <MAC-Address|hostname> DESCRIPTION
This tool enables you to telnet other RouterOS or MAC-Telnetd enabled devices. You can connect to either a hostname or a MAC address. If specified, the hostname (identity) will be looked up via MNDP discovery. OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax. A summary of options is included below. -n Do not use broadcast packets. A tad less insecure but requires root privileges. This means that ethernet packets will have the specified mac-address as the packet destination, instead of using the ethernet broadcast address. -t Amount of seconds to wait for a response on each interface. If you have several network interfaces, this is the timeout value per interface. -u Specify username. Without this option, you will need to enter the username in a interactive prompt. -p Specify password. Without this option, you will need to enter the password in a interactive prompt. -h Show summary of options. -v Show version of program. SEE ALSO
