This is very OT, but since we have IT folks over here, I'm trying to
ask. When trying to book an hotel in Germany, I asked for internet
connection availability in their rooms. Their reply:
"We have internet connection (wireless lan) in all rooms for free but
therefore you have to fill out a sheet of paper with your mac-address
and then we can activate you for using internet."
Since I don't have a Mac, I have no clue what a Mac address is. However,
I suspect they mean a IP address. Even so, I believe my internet
wireless connection uses a dynamic IP and in case I have to setup a new
connection they have to assign me and let me know an IP address...
What would you expect to do with a Win XP laptop for getting such a
"mac-address" wireless connection?
Thanks a lot.
And, just to inject something useful into this thread, newer machines
often have a label somewhere with the MAC address written out for you.
