My ISP asked me to get something, and I'm not sure what it means. Just wondering if someone would enlighten me about this. I think it was called "static" something, and it had to do with my "IP address". I know that's not much to go on, but I would really appreciate it if anyone could tell me what this is. Do I need it or is it just something that they want money for? Thanks for all your help in everything you all do.
you mean a static ip address. one that dosnt change. like if you where running a server and needed the same ip address to connect to. its intresting that they (isp) would make this suggestion to you. most likely you dont need. it.
Ok, I know this is going to show just how little I know, but what exactly are you talking about. My address changes everytime? I had no idea. Under what circumstance would I need it to stay the same then? Sorry, but I didn't know that my address even changed, so I had no idea that I would need it not to. Thanks again.
hi again shelljj,
most likely your ip address dosnt change unless your isp said you have a static ip. a static ip is usually more expensive than a dynamic service. you are probably 'leased" a ip. my ip which isnt static, but leased, has only changed once in 7 years.
