The MAC address is used to generate a unique machine ID for telemetry but it shouldn't affect loading code-server. Still, you can try passing --disable-telemetry and see what happens.

If that doesn't help then:

  • How are you accessing code-server? For example directly or through a reverse proxy?
  • Are there any logs in the browser console?
