I am not the OP so I cannot attest to the accuracy of rowdymon's posts. However, just because a wireless router is in use does not automatically mean other computers are connected wirelessly. What may have happened, however, is that rowdymon had some friends over who connected to the router with their laptops long enough to trigger the university's too many MACs auto-response. Or perhaps the wireless network is unsecured and people have found it a handy spot to tap in at. If either of those are true, cloning the MAC address of rowdymon's computer is only going to be a temporary solution at best. |

Crazy thought here..
Is it possible that you have NAT/Firewall turned off on the RTP300, and that each client connected to the RTP300 is trying to get individual IP addresses from the University's connection?
In theory, the RTP300 should be presenting one MAC address to the outside world, if NAT is on. That would, by default, be the MAC address of the RTP300 itself. Any requests from any clients should be NATted theough the RTP300 and appear as if the RTP300 was making them. |
