user bind to mac error.

[kadvar]

i've got windows XP and FC3 setup to dual boot on my pc.. i access the internet through a LAN directly linked to my ISP. i hav absolutely no problem in windows.. i 've been given a static ip address and dns servers..
in FC3 when i configure the network settings and type in the name of a website in firefox, it takes me to the user authentication page of my ISP. there when i type my user name and password, it says "bind to mac check" and then proceeds to revert back to the authentication form.. this keeps happening as long as im entering the username and password.. there's no problem wid my lan card of or the connection (coz i can connect in windows).. wot does "bind to mac" mean?? i'd really appreciate if anyone could help me out..

thanx,..
