Appendix A: About Static and Dynamic IP
Address
A static IP address is an IP address that is assigned to a computer by an Internet
service provider to be its permanent address on the Internet. It is normally used in the
computer networks, where computers are connected all the times. As the Internet gets
more crowded, there are not enough IP numbers to go around. For this reason, more
and more ISPs are offering dynamic IP address instead. Check with your ISP if they
provide you a Static IP address. A dynamic IP address is a temperately IP address
assigned by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server from a pool of IP
addresses. A dynamic IP address may change every time when you log in the network.
