It is all over Google. It seems to be a problem with the Asus bios and the mac
address settings. You either will have to set a fixed mac address in the
config file and hope it isn't already take out in the world, or get Asus to
fix your problem.
If you go with a fixed address, look on your board to see if they attached the
mac address to a sticker somewhere and use that. It will most likely be the
correct address.
Is there a bios update for the board? It might fix it.
