That's something that shouldn't happen.  Did you by any chance set the 
router MAC to the same as the computer?  DHCP servers assign an IP 
address to a MAC address and has no idea what device it actually is.  
Next question is how Bell's DHCP server managed to see the computer, 
when it's behind a NAT firewall.
