also change ur NIC MAC aswell when ur trying the new macs m8, good luck!

The program I'm using (KisMac) searches for nearby wifi connections in real-time and displays the mac address of that connection even if it is password protected, so I know these macs are 100% active.
The guy is using macs from nearby router's and computers?

There's his problem right there.

You need to scan using the correct program (not sure of the names of any for mac's) and then trade them with someone who lives 1-3 miles away. Then use them mac's.

yes also sorry if someone already said but yes u do really need to remove cable feed each change of settings really. always try n connect drect to pc first [no router] and the ip address u say is always the same are u sure ur not getting the ip adress of the nic card?
amd at 1 point i had to try over 100 macs to get a working one, and even ones the got the activation page at mine didnt else where?
though at mo im tryin to sort mine, as each mac i get to work is only lasting a few days if lucky now, long some mentioned b4, i think theres a bit of life in this gane yet just not a lot and only if ur preparred to put the effort in now!
