2 DM800's on same LAN = Mayhem??

My Satellite Setup
1.1m Triax dish, TM2300 motor. 2 x DM800HD, 1 DM500, 2 x Sly HD. 1 60cm fixed (Astra 2D).
My Location
Ireland
So happy with my DM800 I went and got another one for another room. I flashed Nabio BH12 on to the new one and changed its hostname to DM800SR. I then configured the NIC to manual IP. Then, MADNESS:

Firstly, my existing DM800 started to breakup the Sly signals, stopping every 2-3 mins for about 1 min.
Secondly, for some weird reason whenever one box is up on the LAN the other one can't be contacted!
If I shutdown one box, the other works perfectly.

I thought this might be an ARP problem on my switch, as the hostnames were breifly the same, but I cleared the cache there.

Has anyone ever come across this? Anyone have 2 DM800's on the same LAN working against a CCcam share? BTW, the second on I never even put CCcam onto so it couldn't be that
 
I experienced some issues with multiple Dreamboxes (a DM800, DM500 and a TM500) when I first set it up as cccam was using the same default port (12000) on each box. Once I spotted and fixed that everything worked (and continues to work) perfectly.

You didnt say if you are CS but that could explain the first issue (cccam could have been installed automatically by the image you have loaded). If this is the case, ensure each DM800 has a different port set for cccam and then set up port forwarding in the router to match.

The second issue sounds like you may be using the same IP address for both DM800s. If your router supports it, turn on DHCP and let it take care of that.
 
Sounds like it might be a MAC address problem, check to your MAC settings in your router, all these clones seem to be given the same MAC. Hope this helps.
