Default Nic mac banning becoming rapid!

Anyone having extreme issues getting online, I am having to change my NIC MAC almost every hour to get online. Also changing the HFC MAC every day to keep myself online!

Has anyone found a fix for this or some sort of work around? Its driving me crazy!!!

Hours is turning into minutes at the time of writing this message (S.O.S)!!!

As mentioned by baked, try with forcing off. You may find you are able to autoserve some configs.

If not, get a 10 or 20meg mac and quit the forcing for now.

Found out that changing the TFTIP from .8 to .3 has stopped the bans and MACs dropping connection. Hope this helps someone else...

Something spooky has been happening with my PS3. Every so often it will completely lose connection and then after; I am unable to sign in to the PSN. Only restarting the PS3 fixes this problem. Are VM targeting it?
