What Is Static Ip Address And What Is Dynamic Ip Address?

0

Removing the consideration of an ISP being involved in the answer, a static IP address is one which you have manually assigned yourself; a dynamic IP address is one that has been assigned to your device by something else. The reason I wanted to remove the idea of the ISP from the answer is that whilst it is true that you do obtain, in some fashion (and in fact *require*) an IP address for communicating on the internet, it’s also possible that you may have, for example, two computers in your house, that are both sharing the same internet connection. This is achieved by using a system called Network Address Translation (NAT), which will be built into your router. Now, the router itself could have either a dynamic or a static IP address that is provided by your ISP, and then, internally to your property, your router could be set to give out IP addresses to any device (be it computer, set top box, PDA, whatever) that you connect to it, dynamically.
