Re: aculink bridge IP address

Look it up in the DHCP logs on your home router.  The MAC address for the device is the station address that it uses to register to MBW if I recall correctly, so it shouldn't be too hard to find it.

If you are running a Windows PC and a simple home router, this trick *may* work as well:

1) Open an MS-DOS prompt

2) Type "ipconfig" (without the quotes) and look for the line showing your IP or IPv4 address.  It may say something like "192.168.1.104".

3) Drop the right-most number, and replace it with ".255".

4) Type "ping 192.168.1.255" (or whatever you came up with in #3 above).

5) There will be no answer.  Hit CTRL+C after about 5 seconds.

6) Type "arp -a" to display all of the IP and MAC addresses on your local network segment.

7) The MAC address that starts "24-C8-6E" is probably the bridge you are searching for.

No guarantee that this will work, since it makes assumptions about your local subnet mask that are likely to be correct but not a certainty.....
