Thanks for that reassurance Ignition, I didn't realise that mac address cloning only worked if it was used in a different area. Makes sense if you think about it, if I tried to use the same mac address on two pc's connected to my router problems would obviously occur .
Can't NTL check if more than one person is using the same mac by running a custom script and checking all their "router" logs for duplicates? I'm a total newb as far as networking this high up goes so excuse the ignorance.
