could you be more specific in your hardware setup? mac address is a network thing.. do you have a built-in nic? eeprom is usually your bios chip.. eeprom failure could be your battery is dead... more specific you can be, the better chance you stand fixing the prob. good luck to ya.

Sounds like you have lost the MAC address for the onboard NIC...check the SOYO site to see if they have a utiltiy to recover this.

some of the ECS boards have a problem with this, they have a tool to correct it.
