FYI I do practice what I say.
I am an experienced network engineer and CISCO qualified.
So I do actually know routing and how the internet actually works from the ground up.
Also I spent several years in IT security, and credited by US-CERT for a vulnerability.
Strings can be written to a cookie to identify visitors mac addresses there are other methods, that I will not speak about here.
If you are on a Local Area Network, those on the internet can't see your MAC address directly, (but still possible if you know what your doing ) because you are connected via NAT, and only the router gets your MAC address via an ARP request to complete the connection. But with a direct internet connection (eg no router), the site needs to know your MAC address to complete the linkage, and can issue an ARP directly to you to find it out. ARP is the protocol that maps IP addresses to MAC addresses so data can connect to whatever your trying to link and pass data to.
Try not to be a prick, accept your wrong and move on.
Next in line please....
Anyway what would an Account Coordinator who works for Search Discovery, Inc. in Atlanta, know about routing, mac address and stuff?
Perhaps you should practice what you preach.
The MAC address will not be identifiable by a website.
