No, you cannot have duplicate mac addresses on the same ethernet segment,
since it would result in multiple replies to an arp request.

The solution would be to change the mac address on one of the interfaces
which cause the duplicates. How this can be done usually is vendor specific.
However, each network interface should have a unique mac address by default.
