      I have what is probably a dumb question, but can't find an answer anywhere on the forum.
      I don't have access to irc either.

      I accidentally put in my local mac address and caused a conflict.
      I figured out how to change it via the shell, but I can't find how to default it back to the nic card.

      Is there a way to get the nic's actual mac address and then load it in via the web gui?

      TIA,
      Jon

        Easy fix…

        1)  Get access to the webGUI (after removing conflicting computer)
        2)  Go back to the mac address box in the webGUI and blank it out.
        3)  Click Save at bottom of page
        4)  I had to reboot and the original mac address came back.
