A static IP address is one that doesn't change. Usually it's programmed directly into the computer or network device. Servers and routers almost always have static addresses.

A dynamic IP address is one that can change. Usually, a computer or network printer will ask for a dynamic IP address from the network when it starts up. If there is a DHCP server on the network, then it will provide the device that's starting up with a dynamic IP address.

The next time the device starts up, it might get a different IP address from the DHCP server.

By the way, "DHCP" stands for "Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol".

How can i configure ISA server 2004 when your Router has Dynamic IP Address?

How can i configure ISA server 2004 when your Router has Dynamic IP Address?" First of all, routers come with static ips... (the default is usually 192.168.1.1). So I am going to assume you mean your internet ip is a dynamic ip. Now Im not an ISA expert, so I may be wrong... but ISA should work with a dynamic external IP. And lastly if you cant get it to work, a quick call to your ISP will get you a static IP.
