Uhm....no. You're wrong. It depends on what kind of connection you have, but only certain kinds of connections give you dynamic IP addressing. In all cases your IP is given to you by your ISP and you have no control over it unless you are assigned more then one IP from your provider. This would be the case if you had a commercial block of IP's or something. If you acccess the internet through a gateway, you can change your private IP address, but the gateway is still being assigned an address from your ISP.



Milamber is right. I have the dynamic IP addressing and my provider changes it at whim, I've no control over it.
