>>>>>>>>>>> MAC address is different from the IP-Address.Use this to find out the MAC address. http://www.dur.ac.uk/its/services/network/lan/mac/linux/ Simply type /sbin/ifconfig and find out the HWADDR . It is a twelve-digit number of hexadecimal characters (0-9, a-f) and will usually look like this. Ex>00-E0-29-44-9b-2b Use the http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-10.html#ss10.20 to setup ACL's based on MAC address rather than IP. Regards, Muthukumar.
