That doesn't make much of a difference because the IP still traces itself to the same computer. Unless you moved or something. my ip changes constantly.. my ISP uses proxies often i believe. i know you can change your own IP address with cable without requesting a new 1 from your ISP, something about changing out ethernet cards.. i dunno ive been dial up forever so i never learned much about it. some times my ip addess i last logged into is my computers name, an everage ip address like "255.255.255.255" other times its a proxy like IP where it will like, essex.###.somewords.### some weird stuff i never pay attention to... Mine is the same, then other times it will be something like GWFIWSQ or something like that. Dial up users ftw.
