Cloning MAC address causing bizarre problems?
« on: January 28, 2010, 12:26:15 PM »

I narrowed down a problem on Firmware 1.21.  It is most likely a memory overwrite problem when entering a MAC Address in the "Manual Internet Connection Setup" form.

I reported the details to D-Link support, and all I got back was "Have you tried upgrading your firmware?"  Obviously this person has never been a programmer or a tester, and doesn't understand how memory overwrite bugs can cause unpredictable problems, including any of the problems being reported in this forum. If the bug isn't fixed, upgrading to a new version of the firmware will just make problems show up elsewhere where they are harder to track down or reproduce.

So I figured I'd come here and ask:  For all the folks that are having odd problems with the DIR-655 that D-Link can't seem to reproduce or fix, how many of you are using a cloned MAC address?

If you use 1.21 software I recomend you to upgrade to 1.33B02_HNAP
That have been reported working very well.

Biggest fix is DNS bugg, and now working

Don't forget to reset your dir-655 before you upgrade software.

Why would you need to clone MAC address?

Really do not know of any ISP's that require this anymore.
