odd problem
its very rare for dial up to offer a fixed IP.. its just to expensive.
It may be something the IP offer, and you can ask them to stop.
Also, go into your dial up connection properties tab.. go to network settings,, and then into TCP ip..
make sure all tabs are on automatically allocate as opposed to pre-configured
(make sure you not doen the existing settings incase they are needed)
