My home IP address is dynamic, but it hasn't changed in the four years I've
been with Knology. But, staying connnected 24/7 probably makes a
difference.

: It is VERY unlikely you have a static IP address or you
: would remember it. It costs more money to have a
: static IP so you would also be paying for it.
: It is NOT true that the IP changes (or can be
: changed) every five minutes. Your IP may look static
: but each week, or each month, or some other period of
: time, it will indeed change. Mine seems to change
: monthly. These are NOT static IP addresses even though
: they might stay the same for long periods of time.
: They are still dynamic IP addresses.
: A static IP address never changes. It will almost
: always be the same next month, six months from now,
: years from now.
: So unless you ordered, and agreed to pay for, a
: static IP address it is about 99.9% certain you do not
: have a static IP address. Your ISP could tell you
: quickly whether you have a static or dynamic IP address
: so if you are in doubt you should ask them.

: If your reader will work on the pages, here is a link
: about static and dynamic IP addresses:
:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_IP
:
: Just in case it won't work well there, here are a
: couple of paragraphs from the link, after which I will
: say goodby, should you wish to stop reading:
: Static and dynamic IP addresses
: When a computer uses the same IP address every time it
: connects to the network, it is known as a Static IP
: address. In contrast, in situations when the computer's
: IP address changes frequently (such as when a user logs
: on to a network through dialup or through shared
: residential cable) it is called a Dynamic IP address
:
:
: Method of assigning
: Static IP addresses are manually assigned to a computer
: by an administrator, either through the operating
: system configuration or through a command (e.g.
: ipconfig or ifconfig). This contrasts with dynamic IP
: addresses, where an IP address is automatically
: assigned to a computer by a remote server which is
: acting as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server.
: Even though IP addresses assigned using DHCP may stay
: the same for long periods of time, they are liable to
: change depending on the addresses available in the set
: scope.
:
:
: Uses of dynamic addressing
: Dynamic IP Addresses assigned, on LANs or most
: broadband networks, by Dynamic Host Configuration
: Protocol (DHCP) servers are used because it reduces the
: administrative burden of assigning static addresses
: within a network. In most desktop operating systems,
: dynamic IP configuration is enabled by default. Dialup
: and some broadband networks do not use DHCP, but
: instead use the dynamic IP addressing capability of the
: Point-to-Point Protocol.
