AddressWhat is A Static IP?
Just as each building on a street
has an address, so does each computer on the Internet. This "address scheme"
allows you to distinguish between every computer on the Internet. For example, you may
have come across a number in association with Internet lingo such as
"208.196.138.4"--or something similar. This is an Internet Protocol
(IP) address.
When I Call via Modem, do I have
an IP Address? Yes, You do. However, what is important to note here is that, unless you have purchased what's called a "Static IP Address," your IP address is DIFFERENT every time you call one of our access numbers. Your IP address is assigned to you when you connect for that session, and then it will change the next time you connect to the ISP sevice. What Will a Static IP Address do for me? You would need a Static IP Address is if you wish to turn your computer into some sort of server, or if you want the convenience of knowing that every time you connect to the ISP, you're going to use the same IP address. A Static IP Address would allow you to give out one address to everyone, and they could then use that address to connect to your server while you were connected to the ISP service.
