But as far as changing MAC addresses is concerned, you shouldn't have a problem, you may have to do an ipconfig /renew on the 2nd NIC though.
I tried, but it seems that the WGR614v9 simply doesn't like RA sessions. I couldn't get any responses on the forums from anyone else who had tried, so I guess I'm alone on this one. RA seems not to be a popular system.

It's not the firewall (DMZ tried) or port forwarding that's the issue. I could use it fine on ADSL via my Belkin router. It even works occasionally on the WGR614v9, just very rarely.

The router is solid for everything else. I'll have to test with the Sept. firmware (not had an opportunity yet) but otherwise keep switching until a firmware release that corrects this comes out.

Unless anyone has any other ideas?
