I'm pretty sure you can't have two identical MAC's on the same switch and have them work independently? unless its a layer 3 switch...
A little discrepency I noticed with Telus, is using their online registration, you can register one mac. use your dhcp client daemon to request an IP. de register that MAC on Telus Online registration. register another mac... rinse, repeat... I'm not sure if it still works, but IIRC it did.
