Not sure if this is the correct place to post this question, but here goes. Has anyone ever solved the issue where a soft-modded xbox gets a new MAC address every time it powered on? I have successfully modded my xbox, loaded XMBC, and installed a 500 GB harddrive. I'm using UnleashX as my default dash, but live in XBMC most of the time. But every time it connects to the network, it presents a new MAC address (last two hex chars keep changing) and hence gets a different address from my router. I could live with this, but now I'm trying to set up a wireless bridge and I can't get it to connect at all. My wireless router (Belkin) is handing out address's just fine, two computers hard wired to router and one laptop wirelessly connected with no issues. The D-link bridge seems to be working fine as well, it connects to my wireless router and I can get to it's internal web page just fine. But the xbox never gets an address. When I hook some other computer to the bridge, its get an address no problem. I've tried setting a static address on the xbox itself, one in the range that my DHCP server is handing out, but no luck there either. Any ideas? This is driving me nuts...
