which is better a dynamic ip or static ip
in globe

[dodie]

STATIC are mostly used by websites and servers...diba?
and DYNAMIC are used by users.... including 56k modems, Broadband user LOGIN, etcc.....

kung mag STATIC diba medyo risky to the users? think about IP HACKING

and one thing ......diba... imu mana i-"buy" ang static IP?

A static IP address is a number (in the form of a dotted quad) that is assigned to a computer by an Internet service provider (ISP) to be its permanent address on the Internet. Computers use IP addresses to locate and talk to each other on the Internet, much the same way people use phone numbers to locate and talk to one another on the telephone. When you want to visit whatis.com, your computer asks a domain name system (DNS) server (think telephone information operator) for the correct dotted quad number (think phone number) for whatis.com and your computer uses the answer it receives to connect to the whatis.com server.

It would be simple if every computer that connects to the Internet could have its own static IP number, but when the Internet was first conceived, the architects didn't foresee the need for an unlimited number of IP addresses. Consequently, there are not enough IP numbers to go around. To get around that problem, many Internet service providers limit the number of static IP addresses they allocate, and economize on the remaining number of IP addresses they possess by temporarily assigning an IP address to a requesting Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) computer from a pool of IP addresses. The temporary IP address is called a dynamic IP address.

Requesting DHCP computers receive a dynamic IP address (think temporary phone number) for the duration of that Internet session or for some other specified amount of time. Once the user disconnects from the Internet, their dynamic IP address goes back into the IP address pool so it can be assigned to another user. Even if the user reconnects immediately, odds are they will not be assigned the same IP address from the pool. To keep our telephone telephone analogy going, using a dynamic IP address is similar to using a pay phone. Unless there is a reason to receive a call, the user does not care what number he or she is calling from.

There are times, however, when users who connect to the Internet using dynamic IP wish to allow other computers to locate them. Perhaps they want to use CU-SeeMe or use a VoIP application to make long distance phone calls using their IP connection. In that case, they would need a static IP address. The user has two choices; they can contact their ISP and request a static IP address, or they can use a dynamic DNS service. Either choice will probably involve an additional monthly fee.

Using a dynamic DNS service works as if there was an old-fashioned telephone message service at your computer's disposal. When a user registers with a DNS service and connects to the Internet with a dynamic IP address, the user's computer contacts the DNS service and lets them know what IP address it has been assigned from the pool; the service works with the DNS server to forward the correct address to the requesting DHCP computer. (Think of calling the message service and saying "Hi. I can be reached at 435.44.32.111 right now. Please tell anyone who tries to reach me to call that number.) Using a dynamic DNS service to arrange for computers to find you even though you are using a dynamic IP address is the next-best thing to having a static IP.

thank for the inputs guys the only thing that concerns me is that before new newly installed net business users have static ip now it's dynamic ip u have to request for your defaul dynamic ip to be static. in the dynamic default you have to connect disconnect a lot to find a stable ip usually the 203 .xxx.xxx.xxx series.. in globe do dynamic or static ip have the same routes? or prioritys? to as to affect speed and stability

using static addresses is not magically faster than using DHCP addresses, Static assignment of IP addresses is typically used to eliminate the network traffic associated with DHCP/DNS and to lock an element in the address space to provide a consistent IP target.

Hey.How can we get the DNS address.I want to manually configure my connection.

[softtouch]

What dns address? The dns server of your ISP?

ask your isp for DNS1 primary and DNS2 secondary

[odjay]

ask your isp for DNS1 primary and DNS2 secondary

okay pwede ra di mangutana ana.cge ill ask them.thanks.i need the secondary/alternative DNS sa isp.tnx
