50 User Limit and ipv6 Privacy Addresses

fjmiller@gmail.com
I am running the free for home use 50 user version of the firewall and I have 12 devices on my network.  I am recieving emails that I have breached the 50 user limit.  The problem is that it appears to be counting based on IP address.  Each machine that supports ipv6 is dual stacked and using privacy addresses so they have many numbers of addresses.

Is there another way to accomplish this maybe MAC Address?

Thanks!

    Yeah, I'm not sure what the OP means by "privacy addresses"


    My assumption here is that the original poster is referring to RFC1918 address space (i.e 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16).

    No, click on the WikiPedia link posted by TechEd.

    iirc, the short version is that the client OS, in this mode, will randomly change its IP address regularly.
