| I dont have an answer as to why the mac address of the Xbox would not be needed other than if you had it behind a router. The way Insight's system is setup, the mac address of the modem and whatever device is behind it must be on your account. Not the billing account but the broadband account. With any computer you can use your browser to make changes to the devices on your account but since gaming consoles have no way to access the web you're out of luck. This forces you to call Insight and have them add the mac address of the PS2 manually, then when you run the ISP setup disk it should complete. Just for future reference, I have a router behind my modem and my PS2, 3 pc's, 1 mac and xbox all connected to it. This may be something for you to think about if your connecting multiple devices. |

| In that case try registering the mac of the ps2. If you connect it to the modem and power it on the ip will be a 10. and the dns will be 12.223.2.9 or 12.223.2.8 which are the registration servers. Once registerd it will change new ip 12. and dns will be whatever is set for your area unless you specify what server you want to use. |
