Just contact your dongle company whoever it is and ask them if its dynamic or static. That's what I do then I do the mac testing with router to doublecheck. If you have windows get a ip gadget for your sidebar that shows you your ip everytime you log onto your desktop for whatever user account. Note: for every new user account you will have to re-add the gadget by going to: Windows Live Gallery

if you want to know go to whatsmyipaddress.com

thats will tell you everyting, not some IPBurger or chicken or froot loop some 5 year old made up and put .com behind it

I'm sorry.... but ip burger will tell you if you have a Static IP.... if it never changes, it's static.

Most mobile connections (cellular) are dynamic, and will change, often, even without a disconnection. However, sometimes they are static. If it doesn't change, it's static.

Even if a site tells you it's static, it can be changed.

So how do you change your Static IP? I have roadrunner and am using ethernet and no wireless router. how do i change my ip pls? and does it means that you change ip for diff every user account as well?

try a new modem, or get rid of time warner

time warner sucks for stealth, they are known to have un changing ip addresses

[fenway]

you can change a static ip address every time you log in, i got static ip and just reconfigure it every time i make a new paypal, just grab one from the att pool, and configure it yourself.. only time warner in the U.S. uses static ip addresses, everyone else uses what is known as a sticky ip address, it really not static,I work for microsoft and trust me TimeWaner will keep you on static ip address for over 2 years at a time.

use:
http://analyzemy.net/
for testing IP. This site will check all flash items too, some of which will reveal your real IP even hidden through an proxy.
This site offers the best checking for IP's available. It will even tell you the screen resolution you are using if you are wondering how well it checks!

if its a new ip each time, its dynamic, WMIP should give different ip address upon restart too if dynamic, same as IPBurger, chicken and the rest

tilly can you post a link to where it says static on the site, I cant dfind it, it may say static for everyone, I wanna check...

can you explain pls? do you mean getting rid of roadrunner and get an att internet service instead? or is the wireless to go card is better?

[fenway]

tilly, i want to apologize and let you know the info i gave to you yesterday is wrong about your ip address, after further research i wanted to let you know that i was wrong and disregard the static ip info i provided to this thread

sorry

Ok I looked it up to see what the site refers to as STATIC,

ok LAN and WAN are different. static refers to the ISP server, that is static. We are NOT interested in that, we want our IP numbers to always change, at least the end digit and preferably more.....

very few IPs are static nowadays
