From a telnet windows, you can check the current MAC address using the following command line :
If your MAC starts with 00:09:34 then it is a genuine box, if it starts with 00:12:25 then it's a fake and you should apply the following method.
To change the MAC address, create text file called init using a Unix compatible editor (such UltraEdit) and add the following content. Replace the xx xx by any hexadecimal.
Save the file and place it in the dm500 under /var/etc directory and chmod it to 755.
Reboot and re-check the MAC address.
Do not delete the init file after you have changed the mac address because it's not a permanent change. If you delete it and reboot, you will come back to the previous one.
Note: if you have already a /var/etc/init file not empty, you should add the 3 last lines in it.
Code:
cat /proc/bus/dreambox
