Hi Tribble,

I'm a bit embarrassed and I'm sure that the answer's going to be a glaringly obvious one. I'm prompted to select a MAC address from the Select your MAC address dropdown menu.

"Please select the MAC address on which you want to receive the Development package and press the 'Send Development Package' button. Pick up your iLiad and press the connection button. You will receive the Development Package and your iLiad will reboot itself after installation."

Err.. How would I populate that field with my MAC address?

I know that it can be found at the back of my Iliad. However, I'm at a loss as how to enter the address in the field above. My understanding is that I am to press the connect button after entering the address and clicking on the Send Developer button. I blame my idiocy from my weekend's bachelor party.

Vincent
P.S. Thanks Tribble for the heads up about the shell access! I originally thought that this was a tediously long process as it was manually pushed by Irex, and that I would not have access until returning from my honeymoon.
