I have noticed something similar. I upgraded to Charter's "business class" ;) a while back. This gives you 3 dynamic ip's + 768/256. However when we tried to get an ip address with a new device (i.e. unknown mac) we've seen wierd messages from the dhcp client (on a Linux laptop) after unsuccessful attempts to acquire an ip. Anyways, this could be fixed by power cycling the cable modem and I can now in fact use all 3 ip's successfully.
