Usually a lease is only 12-24hrs or so, so you'd have a different ip address almost every day.
This varies widely between ISPs. Some give you a new IP each time you redial the xDSL service. Some provide extremely long lease lives, 6 months or more. And still you can often get the same IP regranted anyway, if you do a DHCP-Renew (which is what the Mac OS first attempts).
