urm... am i wrong in thinking that every device that connects to the internet has a mac address??

I thought the dua worked in a similar way to the usb connection- the usb will create a mac address one character different to the cable modem it is connected to.

I may well be wrong though and yes i would assume, although i dont know that each login attempted is recorded.
