static ip means your ip never changes. youd have to check w/ your isp

If you weren't told you have one (which is highly doubtful anyways) when you registered for your internet connection, you don't have one.

AFAIK I don't have one but my IP has never changed, odd.

I can hold the same IP for months upon months. Let me guess, you have a cable ISP as well? Cable modems have an easier time reclaiming the same IP for their clients, especially if you're using a router and the MAC of the router never changes (not that it particularly would, but you get my drift).

PPPoE connects you to a random port on the remote authentication server at the other end (for ADSL connections) and the IP associated with it is random (from their available pool).

Nope I use ADSL (using PPPoA AFAIK).

I do use an ADSL modem/router, which it's mac address never changes. But my IP address is the same as when I used a USB ADSL modem as well.

BTW, with one cable operator in the UK 'Blue Yonder', you actually have to register the MAC address of your network card with them. If you cange your network card, you have to re register it with the new NIC's MAC address.

That's odd. I've never really seen DSL hold the same IP after multiple connections before. Very odd, at least in my experience with DSL in Ontario, Canada.

I use an ADSL connection too, and mine's always the same.

I've always had the same IP, it must be a good two years now.

same. never noticed any changes in my ip.

Typically, an IP will refresh at least once a year. ADSL tends to be more frequent in this than cable modems.

If you did not specify a static IP, then odds are you do not have one and therefore it could change at any time. To find your IP, you could just use the Ping command. Just open the command prompt and type Ping (name of your computer). It should respond with your IP address and the ping time.

However, this is likely a dynamic IP so it could change when you log on. The reason your IP may not be changing is because you are running a router. Therefore, your router is getting the IP from your provider. In turn your router is then assigning an IP to each machine connected to the router. It probably just going to the 1st IP in the table when you boot.

I have a ADSL Modem (SpeedTouch 330) that connects in a USB Port. My IP seems to chance everytime that I reconnect. But due to the "ADSL Technology", I get disconnected automatically if I was connected during around 24 hours to "IP Refreshing". I don't use any type of programs that let me resume, so if I am downloading something very heavy that cannot be downloaded in less that one day and I get disconnected by this, I will kick in the [content edited] my ISP...

If ur IP is something like 192.168.1.105, that wont change. That's because you're behind a router. Your routers IP is different, thats the one that is static or dynamic.

I'm not talking about my PC's IP address on my LAN, my Router's IP address on the Internet has never changed. Also I had the original Speedtouch USB and even between reconnects the IP would stay the same.

BTW on the speedtouch USB my internet connection would die at 3am like clockwork, but it doesn't happen with my router, I just put it down to the speedtouch being a pile of [content edited]. BUT my Internet IP has never ever changed.
