Okay, i got a problem with my internet setup.
First my situation.
I'm living in a student flat, where each student has his own room.
Every room has an LAN outlet in the wall on which he is able to connect 1 device.
If you like to connect more devices, we are advised to utilize a router.
Our ISP gives us the right to only use 1 MAC-adress (for safety reasons), so there the router comes into play.
I have a Belkin G+ wireless router on which i would like to connect my phone and laptop by a wireless configuration and my TV (Toshiba 40TL933) by wire.
My laptop and phone work like a charm.
When i insert my TV to the network, the whole thing collapses.
My ISP provided me with the information that i connected 2 MAC-adresses and therefore, i was cut off.
This would be because of the fact that belkin routers (apparently) are notorious for providing more than 1 MAC adres.
When i asked for the MAC-addresses, they gave me back these 2:
* 00:00:00:00:00:00
* 00:17:3f:0d:77:f5
The second one is from my Router.
But where does the 00.00. etc come from?
My ISP says that it is a virtual device, probably my TV i guess. Belkin says their routers do not forward multiple mac adresses.
I wrote town the MAC adress from each of the other devices if they are needed.
It appears to happen when i open the You tube channel on my tv...
