    Gentlemen,

    in the face of the fact that I am appearently too dumb to use this board's search function properly and in the spirit of me trying to connect my Powerbook to the internet with the help an external WiFi adapter, my question is:

    How do I determine the MAC address of this very Powerbook's ethernet port in MorphOS 3.0? I need it since activated a MAC filter in my WiFi router.

    (This must have been asked a thousand times before, so forgive my ignorance.)

    Are you sure that you need your PowerMacs Mac address ? Because my Wifi client has its own Mac address and this one is to be set
    inside the Mac filter of the router. That is because of the forwarding funktion of the Wifi client. Your PowerMacs Mac addr stays invisible.
    At least thats how it works for me. (TP-link 150Mbps TL-WR702N)

    @Kronos: You, good Sir, are hereby being awarded one internet as a reward!

    @defender: This must have been the solution, for I am indeed posting this from the Powerbook! But thanks to you, too, anyway!
