Why do my local network ip addresses keep changing?

[Brian Cluff]

DHCP usually tries to keep the same IP address if possible, so unless 
you have more computers than you have IP addresses available, my guess 
would be that you have second DHCP server handing out IP addresses and 
your computers are bouncing back and forth between the one you mean to 
use and the rogue DHCP server.
