That's a common arrangement, as it is standard setup for a DHCP server
(the same thing happens with most LAN DHCP servers).

If you need a new IP on such a system, you can disconnect, change your
MAC address, then acquire a new IP.  But if you do this often, you are
going to /really/ annoy your provider, as they run out of spare addresses.
