Dynamic IP Addresses
A dynamic IP address is an IP address that is automatically assigned to a clie
(computer, printer, etc.) in a TCP/IP network. Dynamic IP addresses are typically assigned
by a DHCP server, which can be a computer on the network or ano
such as the Router. A dynamic IP address
may change every time your computer connects to the network.
