[coolanime102]

What is the differences? Static IP VS Dynamic IP

[t0mmy]

Static ip is when you have one single ip assigned to you, even if you disconnect you will have the same ip, where as in dynamic you have a range that is assigned to you, and almost everytime you disconnect the ip will not be the same as the last.

[JokerMan]

dynamic ipi even don't know why

[fOrUmAs]

[JA]

[raj3186]

i like it that way . it keeps changing and i can overcome some stupid ip bans .

Hmmm... sometimes , they do an ip range ban :naughty:

[carpediemm]

Static. What is the purpose of dynamic ip?

[eddie27]

Dynamic, its nice to get around things that limit your IP to a certain amount a day.

[Presto]

Dynamic.. not much of a difference, but me likey.

[Markus_18]

[napster5]

Dynamic IP

I have dynamic IP, i wish i have static IP. For using dynamic ip i already was banned from 3 trackers cause they associated me with a cheater. For Bittorrent static IP is safer, with dynamic IP you might be banned for association, of course this only happens in trackers with paranoid staff (they know who they are).

[hijump]

i have static but i preffer dynamic from many reasons ...

[jesper12345]

dynamic ip . more people has dynamic ip's

i like it that way . it keeps changing and i can overcome some stupid ip bans .

haha :P

I have dynamic ^^,

[nadeem111as]

dynamic

[Cyke]

i have dynamic, but my ip is based on mac address of the machine/router hooked to the modem, i can change my mac get a different ip then if i go back to back i had before i will get the old ip back

[pro267]

I have a dynamic one, but wish I has a static one. Every time the IP changes I have to re-authenticate to some of the sites I use, which is quite annoying really.

[MrLazy]

Dynamic IP is better in most cases, i have both :P

[Aachen]

dynamic, and its near impossible ban me, because my range completely changes 189.xxx.xxx.xxx somethimes 200.xxx.xxx.xxx

[pro267]

I wouldn't be so sure about that..

[dawsonkm]

dynamic because that is what they give me

[barral01]

Dynamic IP. My ISP only offer it me.

[jr56]

I have dynamic :D

[bazdmeg]

It's egal. If the fst not like you and have static ip lost some acc only you, but have dynamic, then lost you and the all user who use the same isp;):fst:

[mayank23]

I have static .. but so prefer dynamic ..

[GoLDeN]

dynamic it keeps me safe

[Fibre]

Dynamic is no more secure than static ;)

Security is down to the user, not the IP.

[mrbombastic]

dynamic is better because you can download from rapidshare like a premium user.

[Cheffy]

Static, and i perfer it. I have no idea how users can say dynamic is more secure than static. Secure from what ?

[Mikey2bz]

It's pretty rare that you will actually have a static IP. Most service providers will give you an IP with a 4 or 5 day lease. It shouldn't matter from a speed/routing perspective. Chances are though, if you're at a school, or workplace, (or just have an unconfigured home router) and have a dynamic IP then it is probably NATed, and not connectable unless you initiate the TCP session.

Having worked for an ISP for a I can tell you we get lots of letters from the RIAA. If they have the IP address and its been statically assigned, I can just log into the router and find the MAC address and client info of that user. They usually include the IP addresses in these letters. Since DHCP address will eventually age out and get re-assigned, they can't prove it was you using it.

Don't they have logs of a subscriber's previous IP addresses? That's what I always figured.

[grimms]

They can only be tied to the mac address though.

i have dynamic..how did you DL from RS?

This is true, rebooting changes your ip.

[sanjana]

It is safer and also helps me to download from rapidshare without have to wait for long time.

[chillincool]

Most ISPs charge a nice fee for a static ip so no thx. Ipv4 is going to run out of ips sooner or later... exciting for me because it will have a bunch of businesses trying to convert in hopefully a short period of time, giving me ample work opportunities.

[MBS]

dynamic ip

[godfather00]

[ludovicxi]

[p-h-x]

Dynamic IP. Comes in pretty handy at times.

[erunestian]

I have dynamic too, and I like it. Especially for RS...:D

[tiolewis]

But its the same for me... Dynamic or Static.

I just need good speed.

[ravenhawk23]

[TekknoN1]

[dash18]

[wrongun92]

[Saroman]

Dynamic but i am not sure how often it changes..


@everyone :- Is there a way to determine that how often my IP changes..?

[maldini 3]

[rcx]

dynamic, changes every 12 hours

[0110]

dynamic

change it whenever i want

[shutdk]

Don't know and don't care either.

[LaPistola]

static... For connectability on private trackers :yup:

[xoas]

Don't they have logs of a subscriber's previous IP addresses? That's what I always figured.

They do, so even with a dynamic ip when the isp gets a letter they can easily find out which customer had the ip.

[TP635]

Dynamic, It changes very time I log in/out.
