I am trying to set up some static mappings for a couple of notebooks. So eventhough they use dhcp, they get the same address, so I can set them up in my DNS accordingly.
No big deal. I have worked enough on the RFCs to do this....
So what is wrong with the MAC address of:
00:1b:24:44:e0:3b
Error message I am getting is:
This does not look like a valid MAC address.
I have tried it both in lower case letters as above and in upper case: 00:1B:24:44:E0:3B
Now this is really insulting. I got the MAC address from copying it from Current IP Leasing Table!
The Ethernet interface in question is a Broadcom NetLink Gigabit Ethernet, built into my HP Compaq nc2400 notebook.
So why is this invalid?
