We're on separate computers behind NAT routing; my router spoofs her machines MAC address to interface with the DSL modem. Somehow EvC can't tell the difference between her and I.
If your modem can't tell the difference between your two computers, then neither can EvC. Faking MAC addresses seems a recipe for disaster, or at least confusion, but it sounds like it must work for you or you wouldn't be doing it.
Let me ask about your setup. Does the DSL modem connect to the Internet or WAN input of your router, and then your two computers connect to LAN ports? If so, then why do you fake a MAC address? The router should take care of IP mapping for you.
