{SNIP}
A static IP Address is one assigned to a computer eg. 123.456.789.21,and is
always the same. Whereas most ISPs use DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol)
to assign IP Address upon connection from a pool of addresses eg.
123.456.789.1 to 123.456.789.254; the IP address assigned will change each
time you connect, and therefore is not static.
