Either set up a firewall, or get one of the cheap switches that NATs for you, and then plug everything into that.

(I've heard that you can override the MAC address for some cards under Linux, maybe under OS/2, and then you could set the MAC addresses to the same?

New Since all network addressing . . .
. . for bridging, routing and other functions is actually done by MAC address, having several cards with the same address would probably make quite a mess of things.

if they're not online at the same time (as he was talking about).

He said that when he unplugged one from the CM, and plugged another in, that the CM didn't work. Which would indicate they're not online at the same time, and therefore irrelevant to the MAC address.

If they're on a network together, whole new ball game.
