It depends on your ISP, if you have cable, chances are you do not have a static IP to some extent, if your computer is turned off or your modem is turned off for a certain period of time (a various number of hours) cable providers tend to issue you a new IP. It's safer, to be able to obtain a new IP when nessesary, but I'll tell you right now, I never turn my computers off more than 5-10 minutes unless I am deliberately changing my IP, so my cable is always moving and I always have the same IP.

So, if you are turning your computer off and you use cable, that may be why your IP is changing.
