ip-conflict

I have downloaded the OpenDNS client and it was working great till today. Shows me this error:

dynamic IP update failed with message !yours or "Your IP address is taken by another user."

I am pretty sure i'll get away with the problem by just restarting my connection as i'll be assigned a new dynamic ip. But I wonder how this is happening in the first place. Shouldn't Dynamic IP be unique for everyone?
