If it was DHCP, they would be getting an address from the same network each time unless they physically moved the computer to a different location. They are using proxy servers in different locations to hide their own address. You can do it too. Go to http://74.50.97.246/ and type the web site you want to visit then “Click here to start browsing”. It will appear that you are coming from 74.50.97.246.
Not necessarily DHCP. It is possible that his ISP changed his IP, but they stay within a range owned by that ISP. If his ISP is Comcast, it will stay in a Comcast-owned IP range, the same for any other ISP.
His IP comes up to myproxy.ca, so he’s using a proxy server to mask his real IP.
Info on the DNS for the IP is here...

Actually, DHCP would not hide his IP address in the manner described. More likely, he is using a small number of anonymous proxy servers and a browser utility that switches between these proxy servers on a regular basis.
This is a counter measure ... but there are counter, counter measures, that can be taken that will provide at least the local IP addres (may be behind a firewall). http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/php-howto-read-ip-address-of-remote-computerbrowser/
