Depends on how long the lease is for. We have ours set at 2 weeks where I work for DHCP IPs.

To add on to Kelkhil's response, I had a "dynamic" IP at my old ISP that I don't think ever changed. At least when I had a residential account.

I may be a bit confused regarding what exactly a dynamic IP is then. I was under the impression that they were assigned at logon from the pool of available addies. I supose an ISP could hard wire a specific IP but wouldn't that in effect make it a static IP? And don't most ISPs charge extra for that?

From experimentation (b/c I haven't read the relevant rfc's) it seems as though when someone logs in the first time they get an IP address. Then upon next login, if the same IP is available, they get it, otherwise the user gets a new one (I know with DHCP the client can /request/ the last IP as well).
So, it really depends on how many clients an ISP has, how often the login/logout, how many IP's they have available, which protocol is used, etc.
So, even though technically you may have a dynamic IP, it may seem static.

Though considering all of the variables one would expect that on average it would not.

Depends on the person I guess. Someone who only logs in once every couple days or so, with a popular ISP might get a new IP every time. But, someone who's computer is typically connected might seem to have a static IP. At least that theory fits with what I know about how things work (which isn't necessarily correct
).I /could/ read the relevant rfc's to check things out. But, I'm lazy...

Dude, if Chrisisall could do that... ::bakes hundreds of cookies for Chrisisall:: 
Though, honestly, my first thought was: Wait - Chrisisall didn't end with his (her?) usual "

I thought the same thing when I saw the post. That's why I'm kinda taking it serious. That post had a much more serious tone from Chrisisall than I usually even see in RWED. "A government is a body of people, usually notably ungoverned." http://www.myspace.com/6ixstringjack

For a long while, my IP address was banned here. I had to regularly use a sneak proxy to access the site. I log into the site every day.
Originally, I thought the site had gone down, and it was the reason for the 'page cannot be displayed' message. Then, I thought it might have been the fact I had a new computer. (The incident happened when a new system had been put in.) Yet, there were short periods of time that I could access the site without the need for a sneak proxy. Although, when the computer had been switched off and used the next day, the 'block' would be in place. O.o
Currently, I don't need to use a sneak proxy to get onto the site. It's been this way for at least a month, maybe more. The issue seems to have fixed itself. I'm not technically minded, but I had been told by others in the same boat that my IP address had changed.
There are a few members out there that can't regularly access the site.
