Hmmm. I would expect so, for certain definitions of "unique". That said, I know very little about this stuff -- I've read a few articles and discussions, that sort of thing. > If you use Hyper-V, then the pool of MAC addresses assigned to the guests is > based > off a pool generated from the host's IP address.

If you have multiple hosts in the same broadcast domain with the same MAC address, you're going to have much bigger problems than that. :) If the hosts are not in the same broadcast domain, they're almost certainly not in the same IP network, so their IP address will be made unique by the combination of IP network plus MAC address. The MAC address is unique within the broadcast domain. Proxy ARP could cause problems, but if you're using proxy ARP you're prolly already used to that. ;-) -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
