    2 Vu Solo's with same Mac Address ? conflict

    Hi, all i have 2 Vu Solo clones which take latest images, both flashed very latest build of vix 3.0 from official site and work very well, but cant connect at same time cause they have same mac address ? is there anyway i can connect both ? or change mac address of one of the boxes ?

    Thanks

    menu- system-network-adapter settings-use dhcp-change ip address to one not used,or powering off box can give it a new ip but could clash at a latter stage.
    giving a box its own ip less chance of a clash then.

            seems strange that both of the NIC's have the same MAC address this is something you usually see on clones and not on originals, As far as i am aware the MAC address cant be changed via any of the standard ways, but someone may know a way around it.

                Simply because they are clones.

                    LOL i should read more carefully as well, thats the main problem with Clones not only is the Box cloned so is all the serials and relevant data such as MAC address, i have seen 3 solo clones all had the same data as i described, Thats one of the bug bears i suppose

                      so dont go and buy loads of boxes for your home aas only 1 may work at a time,now thats a good reason to buy and original or 3.
