Restricting access by MAC address
Does anyone know of a way that a Windows server could restrict access to it to Mac specified by their MAC address? Or a networking forum to which I could post the question?

Re: Restricting access by MAC address
This is not really a networking issue. It's more a windows firewall configuration question. Are you using the standard windows firewall. Maybe have a quick look over the documantation. I am sure they must have support for this.

Re: Restricting access by MAC address
Hi Steven, If MAC address filtering is the appropriate option, then you filter a Mac's MAC address the same way you would any other MAC address. Exact instructions may vary according to what OS version is running on the server, and depending on whether a whitelist or a blacklist is better. Maybe Windows Server doesn't come with this feature. It's more common, perhaps depending on the policies of the organisation that runs the network, to do MAC filtering on the network switches (Ethernet) at a border or edge, not on the endpoint servers themselves.

Hi Hugh, Grab his Nokia 5800 and type *#62209526# That will give you the phone's MAC Address.
