You either:

. See if the router has a feature to "clone" or assign a MAC address. Most do. On your "working" workstation do an Ipconfig /all and write down what is listed as the physical address of your lan adapter. Then enter this address as the MAC address of the router. You will then be able to have the router assign NAT addresses, and share the internet.

Problem: this may be in violation of your service agreement with the ISP.

. or, change ISPs.
