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, then register the PC and the X-Box will work. I seem to 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. Greg
