[FONT=arial, helvetica][FONT=arial, helvetica][FONT=arial, helvetica] Every computer connected to the Internet has a unique identifier called an IP address. On many networks, the IP address of a computer is always the same. On other networks, a random IP address is assigned each time a computer connects to the network. This is what we are referring to when we ask if you have a static or a dynamic IP address. If a system uses dynamic addressing, the IP can change quite often.[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]
Right. But if you're behind a router or dsl modem, that has an ip address that shows on the internet. If you unplug it and plug it back in, it will be assigned
a new ip, especially if your have dynamic as opposed to static ip.
The computer uses an internal ip that isn't available on the internet.
When someone's ip gets blocked, it is the one from the router or modem.
