The 'MAC Address' tab allows you to specify which LinkTheater can
see this PC. If there are multiple LinkTheaters on your network and you
wish to only stream information from this PC to one specific LinkTheater,
then check the 'Enable MAC address control' check box, press the '+'
button, and enter the MAC Address of the specific LinkTheater into the
MAC Address list. You may add multiple MAC addresses if you want
this PC to stream information to multiple LinkTheaters. If you only have
one LinkTheater, ignore this tab.

just above the serial number. Each LinkTheater will have two MAC
Addresses, one for the Wired Ethernet Port and one for the Wireless
