I can replicate that with my ISP if I follow your steps.
With my service, if I change the MAC address of the machine attached to
my cable modem, I have to power cycle the cable modem to get a new
DHCP lease.
Not saying that is your problem, but you never indicated you power
cycled the modem...which I have found critical for the last 20+ years.
