Your aDSL modem may cache the MAC address of the connected computer.  You 
might be able to reset it by power-cycling it after connecting it to a 
different system, or your ISP may have hard-coded the MAC into it to 
discourage people from doing what you are doing.

[ You may be able to work around such by using a broadband router which lets 
you configure the MAC address used for the WAN port to be the MAC of the 
system which works. ]

Your clock seems to be off.
