Hi, Thanks for your response. I'm posting this via my iPad therefore I can't currently give you the output for ipconfig /all However, as mentioned in my original post, the Physical address of my Ethernet card was all zeros, but wireless has the correct physical address. I have applied a workaround by manually entering the MAC Address until I find out the root cause. I'm a techie myself, just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and whether they were able to find the root cause. Regards A

Does anyone else have any thoughts on this? Regards, A
