Im guessing that the router changes the IP somehow for each computer on the network?
I suggest you read up on

DHCP - this is typically how an ADSL router will allocate addresses

NAT - how the router will change addresses between local and internet domains

DNS - how name mapping works, and that the ADSL router may act as a DNS proxy
