Often, this means MAC masquerading. MAC is the unique hardware address to an ethernet adapter. For instance, your computer would have one MAC address for a wired ethernet port, and another for a wifi adapter.
Masquerading means passing off another MAC as the one actually belonging to the adapter.
Example:
You have a cable modem connected to your cable ISP, and a single computer connected to the modem. Your computer wired ethernet MAC is 11:22:33:44:55:66.
You go out and buy a new wifi router+access point, and try to connect it to the modem, and connect your PC to the access point via WiFi. It doesn't work. You connect to the access point but not the internet.
Why not?
When your modem was initially set up with the ISP, the ISP "provisioned" (allowed access to) the MAC address of your PC (11:22:33:44:55:66).
Now that the router is connected to the modem, the ISP sees the MAC address of the router (99.88.77.66.55.44) and does not see the "allowed" MAC address of your PC because your PC is no longer directly connected to the ISP.
Proper fix: Call ISP and re-provision the new MAC address of the router.
Quick fix: set up the router's MAC masquerading function to transmit the old PC MAC address instead of the router's MAC, tricking the ISP into thinking the old hardware is still connected.
