Well, it depends on how your machine is configured, it will probably
only request a new IP address if it finds that the one it used
previously is occupied when it boots.  Try selecting another IP address
manually above or below the one you have now, you will probably find
that it works.

Cable Internet connections are actually rather effective at providing
anonymity provided that you are careful and never provide a way to tie
yourself to your connection (or if you do, you must subsequently change
your IP address).
