No, they can't have the same mac address, because mac address is an id for a machine therefore the ip addresses are registered to the DHCP table accordingly to the mac address. So if you spoof the mac address lets say having two machines with the same mac address what will happen is that only one machine at time would be allowed once it disconnect then the other can connect.
Why spoofing a mac address? I guess one of the reasons is to defeat a network administrator when they secure their network by filtering the mac addresses so by spoofing the mac address you will be able to access the internet.

How do you differentiate computers on the same network?
Each computer has a unique name, IP address and MAC address. (not MAC as in McIntosh.)
Can two computers have the same MAC address?
NO, its not possible to have same MAC addresses for two different network cards. because MAC address is a unique part of the recognition of the network card and it is also called as PHYSICAL address of your PC. There is possibility of 2 network cards with same MAC address by 3rd party MAC spoofing techniques.........
What is the Mac address of the DNS server?

Can you retrieve a mac address using arp or rarp of a remote server?
Generally, no. 'arp' is only useful for a LAN, and a remote server is not in the same network.
What is an Active Directory Mac address?

What is Mac binding?
Computers with a specified MAC address can only send and receive information with the IP address it is bound to. To use MAC address binding, you must associate an IP address on the specified interface with a MAC address.
What internet servers do Macintosh computers use?
Apple's Macintosh computers can connect to any server that uses standard configurations. Mac OS X comes with the Apache Web Server built in so any Mac can be configured to act as a web server itself.
What step should you take to ensure that dhcp assigns the same address to the print devices?
You should tell the DHCP server to always assign a specific address to a specific MAC address or hostname. This is usually done through the server's configuration file. See your server's documentation for details.
What type of address is configured automatically for the computer?
A dynamic address, assigned by the DHCP server. Static addresses can also be assigned by the DHCP server through reservations using the unique MAC addresses to identify each machine. This ensures a machine receives the same address each time it requests an address from the server.
Is mac address sent over internet?
No, your mac addressed is shared only with the closest DHCP server (in the case when you have a dynamic ip address).
Can two computers use the same ip address to send emails?
We can have same ip address on two or more computers in the SAME network; both working simultaneously. They should be in same collission domain. Let their MAC address be same first & then assign them same ip address. You can do so by using a network hub. Watch my associated video on www.metacafe.com/channels/austinium2002/
