Can not find mac for router or how to spoof pc mac to router so my ips will let me connect

try looking for the router's IP address on your windows/mac/linux system or try these IPs here 192.168.1.1 / 192.168.0.1 / 192.168.254.254 if none of these IPs work for your router then it maybe different from the normal IPs known to me

Is this a new router - or should I say did you only have the one computer hooked to the modem until now? Some ISPs use the MAC address of the installed PC to assign the network IP address. Since the Router will have a different MAC address, the modem will not recognize it. ISPs use this as security, but it makes networking impossible. However, most routers have a feature called MAC spoofing, which allows the Router to fake the modem into believing it is the computer originally attached to the modem. On newer routers this is a feature that can be automatically done during the setup wizard. You need to have the original PC hooked to one of the router ports (not WAN or INTERNET) and when the router asks you if you want to use the MAC spoof, say yes.

to use two routers like this you will need to set the wrt54g as a repeater and disable dhcp, why do you want to only allow the two computers? why dont you just enable mac filtering and use the mac address of both of the computers to allow it.

The easiest way for you to sort this is to explain what you want it to do, rather than what you have done?

u said u have static IP for ur internet. if these IP's are already assigned in ur computer, ur computer will not be able to accept an IP from the router. so u 1st u need to remove the IP's that are already assigned in the computer's LAN properties. keep the option as"obtain an IP address automatically". then u should be able to open the router set up page using 192.168.2.1

Make sure you dont have static ips set on the non functioning machines.

Try this procedure:

To Spoof a MAC Address

1. Connect the computer that your ISP's installers used to establish Internet connection to the router. If you are unsure which computer was used, call your ISP, and ask what MAC address was registered. Then, using the instructions in the box below find the computer whose MAC address matches their records.
   
2. Disconnect other computers from the router.
3. (If you do not want to disconnect other computers, you need to know the adapter's MAC address, as described in the box below. Then, in step 6, type Use This MAC Address, entering the adapter's address.)
   
4. In an Internet browser type the address 192.168.0.1.
5. Type admin for the username, password for the password, and click OK.
6. Go to the Basic Settings > Router Mac Address.
7. Select Use Computer MAC Address.
8. Click Apply. This automatically gives the router the computer's MAC address.
9. Click Test to make sure you are connected. If you are not connected, contact your ISP.

Hi there

Getting Started

Setting up a Wireless Infrastructure Network

Please remember that D-Link AirPlus G wireless devices are pre-configured to connect together, right out of the box, with their default settings.For a typical wireless setup at home (as shown above), please do the following:
1) You will need broadband Internet access (a Cable or DSL-subscriber line into
your home or office)
2) Consult with your Cable or DSL provider for proper installation of the modem
3) Connect the Cable or DSL modem to the DI-524 Wireless Broadband Router
(see the printed Quick Installation Guide included with your router.)
4) If you are connecting a desktop computer to your network, install the D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G510 wireless PCI adapter into an available PCI slot on your desktop computer. You may also install the DWL-G520, or the DWL-520. (See the printed Quick Installation Guide included with the network adapter.)
5) Install the D-Link DWL-G630 wireless Cardbus adapter into a laptop computer.
(See the printed Quick Installation Guide included with the DWL-G630.)
6) Install the D-Link DFE-530TX+ adapter into a desktop computer. The four Ethernet LAN ports of the DI-524 are Auto MDI/MDIX and will work with both Straight-Through and Cross-Over cable. (See the printed Quick Installation Guide included with the DFE-530TX+.)

Using the Configuration Menu

Whenever you want to configure your network or the
DI-524, you can access the Configuration Menu by
opening the web-browser and typing in the IP Address
of the DI-524. The DI-524 default IP Address is shown
bellow:
