Hey guys, I have unleashx on my softmodded xbox and everything works perfectly, but every time the xbox boots into unleashx, it gives a different MAC address for the "virtual ethernet" it provides. How do I either statically associate the MAC with the original box address, OR at least set a static MAC that remains the same every time it boots?

I have the IP set static. It doesn't change. The MAC address changes.

The mac address bug is in the soft mod you used, re-softmod it with SID and it will stop doing that. Wink

simular problem here , I soft modded a box for my kid (crazys ndure splinter cell exploit) and trying to ftp between the two and the both have the same mac address ! tried updating the virtual eeprom modified it with live info before that backed up eeprom off both boxs with config magic and the only difference in the two are the hard drive passwords. there has to be a way to remedy this. Im still looking. with the ms dash you could spoof the mac seems there would be a simular option in one of the dashs.

@presence: I have seen many guys report this for old softmods and if you can download AID from this tracker: http://www.aidtracker.com/ you can use the sid dash on it to re-softmod the box.

Make sure you get a backup of the eeprom and move it to your PC before you do anything. Wink

@dnndirty: Same will work for you but you can not fix it with a dash since it is a problem with the softmod.

I did get AID 4.51 and did the one click install. It installed all kinds of things, but I am not sure it changed the softmod at all. The device still boots with a different MAC every time.

Is there something special I need to do to make sure the softmod gets updated? Does the one click (softmod) do it?

if you dont have a disk to do the exploit dont follow my directions you might get stuck with a stock dash. splinter cell, mech assualt ect.

ok I did the same thing, Ive got splintercell so thats the exploit I used,
since I had ftp access I put the softmod and exploit file in their appropriate directorys in Udata. you can run it from there with out the games save. my original mod was crazies ndure with a virtual C.

what I ended haveing to do was put the appropriate files in back up

Might want to check directory letter case.

so in E:\backup you put MS\"5960 dash files" you dont need the other back ups then I deleted all the orig softmod files from E (all the ones that ndure put there) then I removed the new aid softmod and rebooted to the ms dashboard put in splinter cell and ran the exploit made a back up of the eeprom and moved it to E:\backups then backed up C to E:\backups the ms dash is alread there.

so then you have E:\backup with MS,EEPROM,C dirs in it and all the appropriate files in them.

then did the single dash install with virtual C. and there ya go I wasnt sure
about the one box so I did it a couple times just to make sure. the drive in my kids is a 160 I had in mine I opted for some extra space so I got a 500 gig and poped that one in his box well seems to me that when I modded it that some how your eeprom info is included in the virtual C or something cause one still has the same mac but I think its the correct one for the machine. what really blows is I waited an hours for 1 something gig download when I only need a few files from it. but it worked.

Ok, to clarify my situation. My dashboard (in this case unleashx) does fine. it comes up with the static IP I assign it, and has the MAC associated with the system.

Its when XBMC comes is launched where I have the random MAC issue. How do I prevent XBMC from choosing a random MAC every time it comes up? This happens whether it uses the dash IP, DHCP, or Static...

you have the newest xbmc? can you upgrade if you dont? by that I mean connectivity to your box??? course Im thinking with the aid install should be the newest xbmc didnt look cause that was all up todate already.

go through you xbmc network settings, but that doesnt sound right I have both mine on xbmc doing file transfers and they still have the mac that unleash booted up with. how are you reading your mack from your router?
try a different router.
