Do you have a iPhone or ANYTHIING else connected to your Wireless Network ??

I get this every now and then and its nothing to worry about. Just a clash of the router assigning IP addresses to other devices is all. Your Mac will take the next in line or it will give the OTHER device another IP.
Don't worry and go about enjoying your 2 day old Mac :)
