There is network settings in the preferences panel but it only shows the
IP address, gateway address, and DNS addresses. My understanding is that
the Treo does not have a MAC address but obtains one from the wireless
carrier. I don't know if that MAC address changes each time or not and
don't know how to get it either.
Thanks for you help.
I don't know anything about the Treo, but the MAC address is tied to
the hardware chip that is used to access the TCP/IP network (wired or
wireless). Some devices, such as routers, are able to spoof MAC
addresses, but I've never heard of a device getting a MAC address from
another device.
The MAC address should never change as its tied to the hardware.

As far as I know, all cell carrier TCP/IP connectivity uses PPP at
Layer 2. There is no such thing as a MAC address in PPP. Read
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1661.txt?number=1661 for more info.
My suggestion to solve your problem would be to point the Treo
software you are using to access the stream or web interface at a
bouncer or proxy. That way that address will be the only one that
shows up once the request hits slimserver.
Options -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Set Proxy in Blazer will get you
a proxy. I'm sure there are plenty of proxy servers for whatever OSes
you have in your house.
Check out datapipe for bouncing. A quick google showed me;
http://www.bovine.net/~jlawson/coding/datapipe/
C version and Windows EXE. Set that up on a computer somewhere that
doesn't access slimserver (or on a virtual IP that doesn't access
slimserver), then use that to bounce all requests from your phone
through so a single IP always appears.
I'm sure there are others (or you could write your own pretty easily
if you're in Unix / Mac OS), that's just the one I've used for years
when I need to do something of this sort.
