What happens if the Mac is the first connected, and you attempt to forward the Mac's MAC? You say that the Apple sees the internet fine when connected directly to the modem. How about when connected alone (no PCs) via the router? Is your router acting as DHCP server? Have you tried using fixed IP addresses? With the router acting as DHCP server, you might try entering its address as the primary DNS server, and give the Mac a fixed IP in the same range as that received by the PCs (increment the last byte). You might also try fixing the Mac's network config. according to the auto-config on the PCs. Determine the PCs configurations using the following command in a console: [code]IPCONFIG /ALL[/code] ...then use that data to configure the Mac for internet access using the same DNS address(es) but, again, incrementing the last byte of the IP address. When you have the Mac physically connected and set for auto-config (assuming the router is acting as DHCP server) does it receive an IP address and DNS server info. from the router, or remain unconfigured? If it is receiving a configuration, is it in the same range as the PCs? If the Mac is receiving configuration data, or is configured in the same range as the router, regardless of whether you can see the internet or router via a browser, are you able to ping the router's address from the Mac?
