Can a NON static ip be traced to an individual?
Yes, there is two types of IP address. One that is assigned to your computer and an entenal IP address which if from your modem or your router which can be traced back to a individual if it was absolutely necessary. I am going to be technical here but I want to be very specific in answering this. Technically an IP can never be traced to an individual, only to a piece of hardware. A non-static (DHCP) IP can be traced to a cable or DSL modem if adequate logging is kept by the ISP and there is a legal reason for them to be forced to release that information. However there could be a large number of devices behind that IP if there is a wireless router or switch connected to the modem. If there is a wireless router connected and it is not secure then any schmuck in the neighborhood that can get the signal could connect to the wireless network and access the internet using the IP of the modem. It they chose to do some illegal activity then the owner of the IP to the modem would be the last traceable point in the investigation and although in this situation innocent would have some tough questions to answer. This exact situation is a big reason to secure you wireless network!

Sort of. The IP address you were using can be traced by Wikipedia. The IP address is assigned to you by your ISP, but it can change over time.

Is it possible to reset a dsl modem so you get a new ip address without turning it off?
Even though modems usually get ip addresses from a DHCP server (dynamic ip address) providers usually bind the modem mac address with a dynamic address. It means that basically you have a fixed ip address. Reseting modems might not necessary mean the modem gets a new ip address. But it happens with certain services.
