The IP address is assigned to your MAC, not your session.  The only way to get a different IP on a DOCSIS system is if the lease expires for that MAC, or you change the MAC.  9 times out of 10 the lease will be renewed when it's due for expiration if the MAC is still connected.  My best bet is that your local node or DHCP server is having connectivity issues, and you're getting an invalid lease.  Nothing else I can think of can be the culprit.

Uggg.
Why do people do such things. 
(hackers) They must have to much time on there hands. 
It was a hacker, he/she also sent me a bootstrap file of somekind. It changed my Bios boot sequence. But I finally got that fixed.. Then they screwed up my restore drive d: Thank god I made backups on dvd`s. anyway at least now my internet is back. 

Waves fist, curses to that hacker.. It probably took less time for them to mess up my pc, than the time it took for me to fix it. 

Ahh, I feel much better now that its all said and done.

Side note, when is IPV6 going to become standard?

Not soon. Why? Because everything that was hardcoded to use IPv4 cannot access an IPv6 address. And that's 90%+ of software, some of it no doubt designed in the 80s with no source code to upgrade and whose developers probably died before the turn of the century. No ISP wants to move to the new address format because half their customers no doubt have some old bit of software (eg. Windows 98) which won't run with the new address format, so it'll be a painfully slow process.
