If you use AOL, this can happen because of the dynamic way in which AOL assigns IP addresses and shares them.

Or if you have AOL (which sucks so shame if you do), they assign IP addresses all funky and such, thus, giving someone else the IP you used and them failing to log on casuing you to be IP banned.
