Well--basically if I don't clone the MAC, I'm going to have to re-host a software package I bought that's linked to my MAC. The re-host costs $500. You get one free one every 12 months--but I already re-hosted when I bought this new machine (which promptly died on me). I'm going to attempt to explain to them the situation and see if i can get a free re-host, but I have a feeling they're not going to let me do it.
I can get it to work if I use a USB NIC with the same MAC. I should have done that in the first place to avoid such problems. But hey--I figured my mobo would have lasted more than 3 months!
I can't believe that they penalize you for network changes! Changes are a fact of life in this business.
I would download the documentation for all the the "big boys" USB adapters - D-Link, Linksys, Belkin and Netgear. You need the manuals to discover these little features.
