  • Dynamic IP means the public IP is assigned by DHCP. This does not equal a NAT.

  • @svin83: No, you didn't understand why an ISP wouldn't give a static IP, nor why this would cause the poster these problems. You could better show your knowledge by giving a better answer, than by downvoting.

  • Most ISPs use dynamic public IPs because their pools are limited. This does not mean they NAT customer connections. NAT is not the same thing.
