Most times when you are on a Cable Internet Service that is giving you an IP address based on your MAC address, if you change the NIC or MAC address that is connecting to the internet you will need to contact the Provider to have them remove your old MAC out of the ARP table. Doing this will allow your new MAC to connect up to the internet. But this may not necessarily give you a new IP address it will just give you a new MAC address.
