Multiple Pine64s on Network Fail

[MarkHaysHarris777]

I have been having a heck of a time trying to get 2 Pine64s to work on the same LAN. 

Thanks

You may find that both PineA64 units have the same mach address.  rats

... so make the mac address of each machine unique.  Try this in a terminal:

cat  /boot/uEnv.txt

The mach address should begin  with  00:06:dc: xx:xx:xx

Make sure that each mach address is unique : the last three xx:xx:xx can be anything you want, but they must be unique for your network.

The script :  /usr/local/sbin/pine64_eth0-mackeeper.sh

... handles keeping the mach address unique.  You can edit the mach address in /boot/uEnv.txt, or you can delete the address line from /boot/uEnv.txt and the pine64_eth0-mackeeper.sh script will set it.   I prefer to setup the mach address myself and make sure they are unique.
