Dynamic IP Setting
WHAT IS A DYNAMIC IP ADDRESS?
A Dynamic IP Address is an IP (Internet Protocol) address that changes each time you connect to the internet. This cuts down on the number of IP addresses large consumer providers need because not all of their customers are using the service at any given time.
