Almost certainly, to confirm:

	Download $distro$ live cd - boot twice - is the MAC the same?

	Check your BOIS - this may show you the MAC address [you may also be
able to change from here] - this shouldn't change. If so - check settings.

Limited advice to stop:

Have you checked log files [var/log/*] for any mention of mac address?

grep $currentMac$ /var/log/*
grep -i mac /var/log/*

Expect binary files warnings etc...

Is it a stock install? Any network services related running/configured?
