Hi,
Just bought and setup a Microsoft MN-500 wireless
router. Got it all set for wireless including WEP. But
when I tried to set up MAC filtering, I ran into troubles
with the settings "Enable Connection Control and
allow/deny unspecified MAC addresses to connect". I read
this such that I should "deny" unspecified MAC addresses a
connection. However, this always hung up the router and
required a hard reset (I think the hardwired connection
with the PC was broken, so response).
Tech support (she was very good), suggested changing the
setting to "allow unspecified MAC addresses to connect".
This worked. But intuitively, it's opposite of what I want
to allow. But it works.
Anyone else run into this setting?
Thanks,
-Tony
