I have no idea if your address is dynamic. If you are asking - it probably
is.
Do you have a high-speed Internet connection?
Do you have a cable modem/dsl "router" that you connect to?
Have you ever configured that router (if you have one)?
Can you go to http://whatismyip.com/?
If you do the following:

Start --> RUN

cmd /k ipconfig /all

Click OK

Do you see, in the command prompt that opens, information on a DHCP server?

The information is provided "as is", it is suggested you research for
yourself before you take any advice - you are the one ultimately
responsible for your actions/problems/solutions. Know what you are
getting into before you jump in with both feet.
