Hmmmm, like i said above, the xbox's MAC isnt registered with VM apparently, thats why when you cloned(spoofed) the working PCs MAC into the xbox it worked as expected.

like i said, some time you might want to clone the xboxs MAC to the PC and get it registered sometime.

BUT if you ever want to get both on the net at the same time so as not to need power cycling the CM and swapping RJ45 cables every time, then a simple and cheap (wireless)router will then be your main device connected to the VM_CM and the pc and xbox will be pluged into the routers LAN ports.

thats were having two devices with the same MAC will be a problem, and you will need to reset the xbox back to its default MAC
