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.

jdbreg(8)						      System Manager's Manual							 jdbreg(8)

NAME
jdbreg - Registers hosts in the DHCP dynamic databases. SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/jdbreg [-d] [-e] [-f character] [-s] [-l | -n] [-o] [-w] filename... OPTIONS
Deletes the records whose keys are implied by the input file(s). Uses character as the field separator. The default is the pipe | charac- ter. Display all currently registered hosts. DESCRIPTION
The jdbreg program registers (or removes) hosts for configuration by DHCP. When the registered_hosts_only policy is in effect, the server configure only clients whose MAC addresses are so registered. When this policy is not in effect, registering hosts has no effect. Each record to be loaded is terminated by a newline, and the fields within each record delimited by default with the pipe (|) character, although this may be changed with the -f command line option. The fields within the data file(s) to be loaded are as follows: MAC address MAC address type MAC address length (octets) RESTRICTIONS
Because the database used by join does not support multiuser concurrently, applications that write to it, lock the entire database. This means that you cannot use jdbreg while joind is running. The converse is also true. FILES
