"Disable" option leaves the firewall active. With the firewall disabled, the protections
normally provided to your network will be disabled.
7. Modem Router MAC Address:
This section determines the Ethernet MAC address that will be used by the modem router on
the Internet port. Some ISPs will register the Ethernet MAC address of the network interface
card in your computer when your account is first opened. They will then only accept traffic
from the MAC address of that computer. This feature allows your modem router to
masquerade as that computer by "cloning" its MAC address.
To change the MAC address, select "Use this Computer's MAC address". The modem router
will then capture and use the MAC address of the computer that you are now using. You must
be using the one computer that is allowed by the ISP. Alternatively, select "Use this MAC
address" and enter it.
