Where does it get the IP address from?

If it gets it from the PC, wouldn't it be 10.0.0.24 or something like that? Surely each PC in an internet cafe doesn't have a routable IP? The US having hogged the bulk of the IPv4 addresses may end up saving lives....talk about random unintended consequences!
