Default Re: Do you want Gonzo to post your real name?

Thanks for posting that Gonzo, it just backs up what we have been saying all along. Your machine's MAC Address is not sent in the packet and is just used on the LAN for address resolution of the final destination. But what is being discussed only holds true on a Network. For example, if you are on a PC with just a dial-up connection, the MAC Address of your machine doesn't even come into it.

I don't see how moe could get MAC Address transmission in a TCP/IP Packet from any of that text. It is only discussing using the MAC upon receiving a packet.
