If you think the mac address is the problem you should be able to test that
theory by setting the mac address of the linux box to match the windows box
and see if that gets things working.

Add a line like the following to the ifcfg-eth? file (and you may need to
be running the network service as I don't know if network manager uses
that info):

MACADDR=DE:C1:A5:51:F1:ED

Except you want to use the mac address of the windows box.

You'll want the windows box off the network when you try this.
