Actually I don't mean both server and client using same mac address, as long as
the gateway controller will allow thin client mac address to access internet
who successful login, then other thin clients can be control from using
internet unless they sign in. Otherwise, if using ts mac address, once a client
successful login, others can also access internet without login which is what I
don't want to achieve.

I don't think this will work, as you end up with two devices (terminal server &
thin client) using the same MAC address on the network. You should consider a
different authentication method on your gateway controller.

Subject: [THIN] How to set Windows Terminal Server to use client MAC address
Hi,
My scenario is I have a few Windows XP PCs. Users use these PCs to connect to
Internet. When connecting to Internet, the traffic will go to a hardware
gateway controller and a login page is displayed to client browser for sign in.
Upon successful sign in, the gateway controller will allow the PC connect to
Internet. The controller done this by recognizing the mac address of the PC who
sign in.
I'm moving the above into MS Windows Terminal Services (using win server 2003)
environment. However, whenever the PC remote desktop to the server and use the
browser to connect to Internet, the gateway controller will get the mac address
of the server itself instead of the PC that is remote desktoping.
So, I wonder if there is anyway to configure the server to use the mac address
of the PC for further connection / traffic.
Thanks.
