Re: why is it that when I need to phone VM, they fail to deliver?

I'll assume you work for VM based on that. It would be nice to know why nobody offered to do that. If its NOT a dupicated MAC address (and it is possible that it isn't) what else could it be? I see DHCP discover, but no response.

I'm not convinced Linksys are at fault here, but I may well ask them. In this day and age, there is no excuse for manufacturing kit with identical hardware addresses. Unless we've run out

So, if a user had had their MAC address cloned, the outcome would be different to the new PC / rebuild / ping-pong match I described above?
