Change connection on D-Link DSL-300G+

[Morsing]

Hi,
I recently bought a 300G+ modem and managed to get it working from my laptop. The problem is now that I need to switch the connection to my new server but the modem refuses. (It did actually work for a few minutes but then I switch it back to the laptop because I needed info on how to set up the server).

I assume that the modem only wants to connect the computer that configures it via the browser?? In "accounts setup" it insist on putting the MAC address of my laptop in.

I tried setting up NAT'ing on the server to trick the modem into thinking the browser connection came from the server but it didn't work.

Does anyone know where (and why) the MAC address comes from?? Is there a way to fix this problem?? (I haven't got a browser on the server).

Another possibilty is to setup a proxy on the server. Is there a chance that will work??

Thanks in advance

Never mind, the proxy trick solved it. I'm just too clever for a stupid modem like that.

I've got this modem, and you have to connect to it with a specific MAC address. I've got my router cloning a MAC that i used to set it up with.

Hopefully that should give you the answer you want.
