Placeshifter MAC address problem

[zoundz]

Little bug, maybe, in Placeshifter, at least in 6.5.9. I've seen this a couple of times before. When Placeshifter connects to the server, it reports it's MAC address as the MAC address of the first ethernet adapter that it finds. It should report the MAC address of the adapter that's actually being used for the connection, but it just blindly takes the first one it sees.

What happened to me was that I added a little bluetooth dongle to the machine and all of a sudden Placeshifter thinks it's uninitialized. I looked in the clients directory and there was a new set of .properties files with the MAC address of the new bluetooth adapter, even though I was still connecting with the wireless. A little Winmerge action between the two .properties files and all is well, but this is really a bug, not a feature and it should be fixed. The only MAC address that Placeshifter should report is the one it's actually connected through and the only time that should change is when the connection is through a different ethernet adapter
