It is quite possible that with DHCP assigned IP addresses, the addresses change from one PC to another from time to time.

Either use Reservations (so that the same DHCP address is always assigned to the same PC) or use fixed IP addresses (non-DHCP).

If you can block by MAC address that will also work, as MAC addresses are globally unique and independent of IP address or computer name.
