Strange. The Macs and PCs use the same DHCP protocols to get an address. 
Is this going right from the router to the Mac or do you have a 
firewall/NAT/wireless thing inbetween. If it is direct then sometime the 
cable modem reads the hardware address of your computer and needs a full 
power cycle to let go and read a new one.
