What is the difference between dynamic and static IP address?

Static IP addresses are set in your computer or other network device manually. It won’t change unless you change it manually.

Dynamic IP addresses are the exact opposite. They are assigned automatically by what is called a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.Dynamic IP addresses change – your computer will be allocated different ones at different times.

 A Dynamic IP address is suitable if you have:

    1.several computers on an internal network with internet access on all of them – Dynamic IP addresses allow several devices to share limited address space
   2. a single computer that connects to your head office on a one-way Virtual Private Network

A Static IP address is suitable if you:

    1. run your own website
    2.run your own email server
    3.access a virtual private network from multiple PCs via a single broadband service
    4.run an FTP server
    5.use off-site server duplication
    6.use certain security applications, like centralised cameras and polling software..

If you want to find the static or dynamic network ip address of your system .Then visit sites like Ip-Details.com they will display your network ip address along with informations like ISP address ,country ,latitude ,lonigutde and so on .

The NT thermostat defaults to a dynamic IP address. Therefore it requires a DHCP server to resolve its IP address. The Dynamic address could be different each time the device does an IP address request. A static address does not change and therefore does not require a DHCP address resolution.
