My hard drive failed on my pc router so I had to flash a new one. The mac address is the same but the activation won't work. I've done this before without issue.

Hmmm. It appears this may have been moved from the x86 forum quite unnecessarily as this pertains specifically to an x86 firmware install. Did you clear your browser cache? _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

That was it. During boot it must have used one of the other ports first. I removed the 4 port switch from the pc and re installed and everything is fine.

Yes, I get a "No registrations left for ACTIVATION and device not known" when I click activate. It's the same mac address and nic as before.
this means your mac address has changed and nothing else. the mac address is part of the request code. so restore your hw configuration as it was before or write me a email. i cannot give you support with keys here in the forum _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking?

yes. the first mac address is used and this depends on the driver loading order. if you install a additional card which is loaded before the mac will change. in such a case you need to write us and explain what you did. _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking?

I should've thought of that first. I forgot I installed the 4 port switch since I last installed dd-wrt. I'll keep it on the checklist from now on. Thanks.
