mac=Inputbox("Enter MAC here","EXAMPLE","001f1f658279") 

ie.navigate("http://169.254.1.1/main.cgi?mac_esn=(I WANT TO INSERT THE MAC HERE)a&catindex=3&pageindex=1&Session=1979932169")

mac=Inputbox("Enter MAC here","EXAMPLE","001f1f658279") 

ie.navigate("http://169.254.1.1/main.cgi?mac_esn=(mac)a&catindex=3&pageindex=1&Session=1979932169")

If You Need To Have Quotes Around "mac"

Chr(34) = "

mac=Inputbox("Enter MAC here","EXAMPLE","001f1f658279") 

ie.navigate("http://169.254.1.1/main.cgi?mac_esn=(Chr(34) & mac & Che(34))a&catindex=3&pageindex=1&Session=1979932169")

Store the HTTP string in a variable:

HTTPString = "http://169.254.1.1/main.cgi?mac_esn=XXXXXXXXXXXXa&catindex=3&pageindex=1&Session=1979932169"

Now your REPLACE to put your MAC address in the place of XXXXXXXXXXXX

FinalHTTP = Replace (HTTPString, "XXXXXXXXXXXX", YourMAC)

Then call ie.Navigate with the new string

ie.navigate(FinalHTTP)
