MAC address is presented in hexidecimal format, but is written to eeprom as byte values. So there's no difference in capital/non-capital.

Found the problem.
Config Magic is showing the correct MAC adress, but viewing it with evolutionX dashboard the MAC adress is set to "00" in the three last fields. Which is not correct.

So Config Magic is not able to write correctly to eeprom?!

Discovered that it works fine to set any MAC adress but the original. I wonder why...!?

So for now i will have to use a MAC from a old NIC of mine.

If someone now what the problem is, please let me know.

Maybe your DHCP server is set to only do static leases or maybe the record for you original Xbox MACaddr is broken. You could try to flush the lease database.

Your DHCP server will have a bunch of IP address that it leases out to a database of MAC addresses, the problem may be that your new xbox MAC address is requesting the old IP address and your server's saying, sorry but that's already leased to the old MAC address. The length of time each IP address is leased to a MAC address can vary, just restarting the DHCP server wouldn't help, if it were a PC you could manually release it from the old MAC but it's not possible with an xbox.
