You'll most likely find that's not the case.
I strongly suspect that someone has simply changed their MAC address to get around an IP issue of some sort, possibly to force a change of their public IP address, and that they happen to have changed it to the same value as yours.
To be honest I think that by now I'd have just made things work (which you've obviously already done) and then moved on. I appreciate how frustrating these things can be, but sometimes they're really not worth the time.
Get yourself down to Pop Bellies on the High Street and partake of the Eggs Benedict (with ham) that they do - it's sublime, especially with a nice coffee, and will definitely make you feel better (always works for me)
Oh, and <offtopic> if you happen to hear of any good technical security jobs going at whatever (large by the sounds of it) company you work for do give me a shout won't you - I could do with a change of job
