 |

I used to have a dynamic IP address, then someone switched me to a static IP address so i could download torrents or something.
anyways, is there any way of switching back to a dynamic IP? >_>?

well if your friends modified your router settings, you could always reset it and the settings would return to default.

a static internal IP is necessary if you are behind a router...
your public IP will still change every time you disconnect from the internet.
to prove this go to http://whatismyip.com/ then turn off your router and turn it back on again, wait a minute or so to reconnect then go there again.

Ever heard of DHCP?

Few minutes isn't enough for everyone. It depends on their DHCP when it does release the address. Might be half an hour, hour or something..
