What is a Dynamic IP address?
Just like giving someone directions to your home by using your home address, a Dynamic IP address tells other computers on the Internet how to find your computer. Grande will assign a Dynamic IP address that will change at regular intervals to maintain network security and optimize available IP space. In other words, you will have a Dynamic IP address but it will vary on a regular basis.
A dynamic IP address is one that can change at any time. You may or may not be assigned the same IP address when your ADSL connection is established. This does not affect the service you receive in any way. It only means that you will not have the features listed above that you would with a static IP address.
A dynamic ip address is an ip address that changes regularly. For dial up users a new ip address is assigned to your computer every time you connect to your ISP (Internet Service Provider). Cable modem and DSL users’ ip addresses often change when the cable modem is reset or their computer is restarted.
A dynamic IP address is a temporary address assigned to the DSL router at the start of a logon session from a pool of addresses owned by Qwest. This dynamically assigned address will not change as long as your DSL router remains connected to the Internet. If you disconnect your DSL router from the Internet, that IP address is returned to the Qwest pool for possible assignment to another customer. When you reconnect to the Internet, a dynamic IP address (possibly different than before) is again assigned to your DSL router. At any point in time, a particular dynamic IP address from the pool is only assigned to a single customer, ensuring uniqueness of the address in the Internet.
