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.
