I put in my MAC address, the "Submit Point" web page says invalid address ?

00-11-95-0b-75-xx (not really xx, just I'm paranoid)

You should register the MAC address for the wireless device. In your case the AirPort (I assume your cable modem doesn't have wireless capabilities).

Ok my cable modem plugs into my airport extreme both have MAC addresses, which one do I register?

Cindy, just follow Ryan's general advice above...

If that doesn't work, please state which wireless router you have. Or upgrade to Leopard ;-)

Hugin777, can you tell me how to find the MAC address for my wireless network on Tiger? I don't have Leopard or Airport. Would appreciate your help. Thanks

It's necessary to note that the information provided while option-clicking does not display 00 as an octet. On the bottom of their Airports, Apple lists the MAC address as 00:1A:2B:3C:00:4D. However, the information provided via Airport in the menu bar will list the same address as 0:1A:2B:3C:0:4D. I believe Skyhook Wireless needs the octet form "00" instead of Apple's address information of "0."

For those running Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, just Option-click the AirPort symbol in the menu bar. The MAC address will appear right beneath the name of your wireless network (like 12:34:56:78:9a:bc).

I believe Ryan is referring to the octet used in computer terminology meaning one byte or 8 bits. In other words, the number 156 in binary would be "1001 1100." The same number represented in hexadecimal would be "9C." Those two hexadecimal (0-F) characters "9C" make up the octet. There are six octets in a MAC address.
