If you move to another city and get another service provider does your IP remain the same?

Your public or external ip address will change, but if you use a router and you have things setup to use a static ip address then your computers private or internal ip address will stay the same but your public or external ip address will still change. Public or External IP Addresses are assigned by your internet service provides. Private or Internal IP Addresses are determined by your router if you have one.


What is the difference between Static IP and Public IP?

A computer on the Internet is identified by its IP address. In order to avoid address conflicts, IP addresses are publicly registered with the Network Information Centre (NIC). Computers on private TCP/IP LANs however do not need public addresses, since they do not need to be accessed by the public. For this reason, the NIC has reserved certain addresses that will never be registered publicly. These are known as private IP addresses, and are found in the following ranges: From 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 From 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 From 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255

Private IP Addresse Because of NAT redirection a small company can rely solely on private IP addresse for its internal network and use only the s one public IP assigned to it by is ISP for Internet communication IEEE recommends that the following IP addresse be used for private networks 10.0.0.0 through 10.255.2 172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.255


How does NAT allow private addresses to communicate over the internet?

NAT or Network Address Translation actually comes in several flavors. Simply NAT and NAT PT (Port Translation) are available in both IPv4 and IPv6. NAT uses a router or Integrated Service Router to translate your private IP address to a public routable address. Most home DSL or cable modems provide NAT services. 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.255 are defined as private addresses or "Not routed over the Internet" addresses. There are other ranges such as 10. which won't be not routed over the public Internet What NAT does is translate your private addresses to a public address or list of possible public addresses. PT which is sometimes referred to as port overload will send request using the same public address by associating the private address with a specific port. Simply this means that even if only one public address is available many private requests can be serviced by assigning and then tracking a port assignment at the NAT point of service. So if two NAT/PT serviced hosts both request different HTTP page downloads on the same public address each is assigned a different TCP port. When the request return they are routed to each private address based on the port number. Cool how it works. This is not the same as proxies so don't get confused.
