Im sorry, but its not really clear on how you have things setup.

Can you give us a detailed explanation of what ports you have active on your setup and where they
connect to.

Hi Chris,
 
The OPT1 isn't connected to my PC - the Lan Port isn't used (only a cable is
plugged in / its only used sometimes by a friend)
 
If I connect my PC to the LAN Ports my WRAP runs well. 
 
How could this Failure also occur ? That one MAC adress is on two ports is
impossible.
