By requirement of my ISP

I´ve been asked to use only one MAC adress, ??????. I have a broadband
router (smc barricade) one desktop (wired) one laptop (wireless).

Any Idea??????

Thx in advance

Well, your broadband router has only one MAC address.....and if it's doing
NAT I don't see how your ISP can be doing all that much snooping as to your
compliance w/your contract.

What ISP is this, by the way? Sounds kinda snarky to me.

I´m at mexico city, so when I received the cable-modem, was told that when
setting up the conection, the service registers the mac address of my
desktop (at that time doesn´t haved the barricade), now I´ve cloned the
desktop mac address, on the AP, so I can use the registered mac address.
The ISP is cablevision www.cablevision.net.mx
It is not doing NAT, I don´t even know what´s that, sorry!!!
As you can see, I´m totally new onthis matters.
Thanks Any way.

A lot of broadband routers let you specify/spoof the MAC address. Check your
documentation.
I presume your router is doing NAT - that's how you can have more than one
computer connected at a time w/only one public IP.
