Re: IP Address

What determines whether you have a "static" or a "dynamic" IP? ~ Also, is it possible (in the event you have a static IP) to change your IP?

...and, as always, thanks for great topics and the helpful information...such a nice and easy way to learn! (I love my invisible geek friends!!)

Re: IP Address

static (same IP # every time ) IP's are limited so there is normally an extra charge to have one, yes you can have a static IP changed but its like changing your phone number they charge you for that too

the dynamic IP is when the ISP just provides you with an IP from its pool because IP's are not limitless

Thank you foambrush ~

Re: IP Address

There is also two different types of IP addresses:

 Static IP addresses are the same every time you connect. dynamic IP addresses may change each time you connect to the network (e.g. Internet).

Re: IP Address

ip is assigned to u by your internet provider. usually u can find the area some one is located in with this information due to internet providers assaing certain ip address to certain area's

this in no way will tell u the address of where this person just the general location. its not always right ethier

u can port scan the ip address but thats for hacking and to determine which port are open on the computer so dont worry about it
