[cisco-voip] IP Communicator and MAC Addresses.

[Ted Nugent]

I've not tried the most recent version of IPC but you
used to just leave it associated with one MAC weather
you were running on the Wired or Wireless NIC??? If
your phone was create using your Wired NIC address
then you would LEAVE configured for that in IPC no
mater what physical connection was active at the time?
Are you saying that now you can ONLY configure IPC to
use only the ACTIVE NIC MAC???
