So, if my ISP gives me a Dynamic IP, is there really any kind of need to tell them that I'm getting myself a static IP? In any situation you have ever heard of?

I think he's asking whether he has to tell his ISP that he is making his IP static. And no Perseus, you don't have to.Are you asking why you would want a static IP? Or are you saying your ip isn't changing even though it's dynamic?

You know the difference between public and private IP addresses, don't you?

Public IP Address is being assigned to your router/modem by your ISP's DHCP server and there is absolutely no way to dictate it to make it private. Only if ISP adds you to "reservations" list and tells DHCP that your IP should be static - you'll have it. Basically, public IP address is the one that faces the WAN.Well, kind of, not really. xd
But this will do for the purposes of demilitarizing my ps3, right? >>
ISPs also charge extra for static IPsPublic IP Address is being assigned to your router/modem by your ISP's DHCP server and there is absolutely no way to dictate it to make it private.

Private IP address is the address you are getting from your router on your home network (for peer-to-peer communications within your local network LAN) - you can set it up manually on the router. You don't need any additional software like the one you posted for that. Unless you have completely no idea on how to do that, of course.
Absolutely correct. Usually residents request static private IP only in case they host some public services (e.g. website, ftp-site, and so on). Other than that having static public IP is an absolute waste of money.ISPs also charge extra for static IPs

Only if you've set the PS3's ip up to be demilitarized.
Unfortunately, lease time for IPs is being set up by ISPs, not end-users :D Different ISPs have different lease times though.Or set the expire time for some long ass time.

You'd know about it because in order to have it you should've order it first. You won't get static IP by itself.If you had a static IP, you'd know about it, as you'd pay extra
