I have been seeing a lot of posts about peoples MAC addresses stop working randomly and the only way to resolve it is to change your MAC. This normally will result in unable to retrieve URL or not authorized messages. The most likelihood is that someone has found your MAC as a working MAC and are using it watch TV on your dime. I believe this is how these fake stalker or services are hijacking the NFPS streams by hijacking working MACs.
This can easily be prevented by enabling the sending of the serial number. This will prevent anyone that does not have the correct serial information being blocked from using your MAC and tying it up.
1. You will need to go to your portal configuration in the Stalker client that you are using.
2. Enable sending of the serial number.
3. Enable custom serial number.
4. Enter a serial number of your choosing
5. Enter a number for Device 1.
6. Enter a number for Device 2.
7. Enter a number for your signature.
Note:
Items 4, 5, 6, and 7 must have values for this to work.
If your using the same MAC on multiple devices, the same information needs to be entered. Same is true if your using multiple clients on the same machine such as PVR Stalker and Stalker Video clients.
