What I've heard people do, with the X-Box at least, is change
the X-Box MAC address to be the same as the PC mac address,

remember the procedure is in an X-Box FAQ somewhere.


Unfortunately Xbox has told a few of our students this as well, and it's
caused problems.  I am a huge advocate of not altering MAC addresses.
They are supposed to be unique for a reason.
