i dont think that you can run 2 boxes of 1 box. as far as i'm aware 2 boxes will run from a splitter feed but would imagine that you mean run the 2 boxes of the 1 cline not possible unless you are the one who created the cline then you can add users to it. where as i assume the cline you have is a single cline.

so you can run multiple boxes from splitters but on each box you will need a different cline if that makes sense.

this is how i understand it but could be wrong
 
You can run multiple boxes via splitter feeds etc the only issue that will arise is that they wont all run off the same cline, if you add the cline to 2 boxes and try and run consec they cancel each other out etc.

so if you want too run 2 boxes from same feed you will need 2 clines 1 for each box
 
Another thing to watch out for is even if your CS provider ok's it for you to run the line on 2 boxes, which alot will let you do now, if you have clone boxes with the same Mac adresses on them it will not work off the same IP.
 
I also have read that you can run two boxes
of the same cline if the IP is the same,
the logic being they are running off one computer
so they must be in the same house.
but i would check with your cline provider first.

You could use homeplugs to get your internet
feed around your house without loads of wires
everywhere.
