I dont understand the difference between a static and dynamic IP address
Static is set in your computer, you always use that IP number. Dynamic IP addresses are 'handed' out by the web server, it changes every time your modem connects to the server.

I think you meant that dynamic IPs are handed out by your ISP's server, usually the one or ones handling the modem pool. Web servers have nothing to do with your IP assignment.
