How I get NIC real MAC address?

[yon]

well, the client web server's NIC is 192.168.101.3. and web server NIC MAC address is 00:25:86:9b:72:d3. this TP-link new NIC. about it is buy in 2010 year.

The PFsense server NIC MAC address is 00:25:86:9b:72:d3 also. this old  computer's motherboard comes with the  NIC card. about it is buy in 2005 year.

I don't know why it is has the same MAC address.  I have not do change the  TP-link new NIC MAC address.  the old computer's is my family .

See if you can change the server MAC.    Otherwise you will always have problems..

So I want to konw how get real MAC and fix it in Pfsense server.

I don't know how do it in freebsd system.  :(

[chpalmer]

Stand By.

[chpalmer]

Your "Interface Assignment" page should look similar to this.

[yon]

The old computer NIC how know my new buy NIC MAC address.

Even such a coincidence?  ???

[chpalmer]

/interfaces_ppps.php    -  Should look similar…    Can you show yours?

[chpalmer]

@yon:

The old computer NIC how know my new buy NIC MAC address.

Almost unbelievable…    Can you change NIC's in one or the other?

:P

[yon]

used to modify ("spoof") the MAC address of this interface

[chpalmer]

Non of those are set up for MLPPP.

[yon]

@chpalmer:

Non of those are set up for MLPPP.

why it is?

[chpalmer]

Stand by and Ill put some pictures together…

[chpalmer]

How many modems do you have?

[chpalmer]

Notice here I have 2 (two) interfaces…

These are set up as MLPPP.

[chpalmer]

This is the ppp page.

[chpalmer]

and here.  see the difference?

[yon]

my PF server has three NIC ( tow new NIC), one of for LAN, one for PPoe,and other NIC because the same MAC can't use.

then I need buy an  new NIC again?

[yon]

About the MAC address error get back real MAC now. now it is seem can work.

To solve a MAC problem.

but the interfaces_ppps.php still can't edit it. when I click edit,the pf server dead.

in system log has show an error is " apinger: Error while feeding rrdtool: Broken pipe"  what it is ?
