Topic: Duplicate MAC address
OK, I thought this wasn't supposed to happen, but the MAC address of my Chumby matches the MAC address of my network printer. So DHCP will give me the IP of the Printer, and of course, unless I manually set the IP, nobody can print any more.
First, I though MAC address had blocks assigned to hardware manufacturers, so unless Chumby is an HP product, there is no way they should have the same MAC address.
Second, I can't make a DHCP reservation for my Chumby, because of the conflicting MAC address. I can manually set the IP on the Chumby, but I can't tell DHCP to never give out the IP address, so potentially another device can attach to the network and get the same IP handed to it.
Is there a way to permanently (or at least semi-permanently) change the MAC address?
