Hi all ! I am just curious how to use the maclist authentification. When I am behind a firewall or a dialup router, will the mac adresse of my localmachine be recognized my the firewall? Can I therfore allow my laptop access to my dmz servers from everywhere in the internet ? Attempts to implement this didn''t work. Any experiences ? nik engel
