That is true in YOUR case. DHCP addresses may be valid for as little as
30 minutes to as long as one year. It all depends on who's assigning
the dynamic IP (it is NOT always the ISP!).

Additionally, that does not mean you will keep the same IP address. It
is not at all uncommon for a company to use multiple proxies, for
instance. In that case each request can come through a different proxy
- even requests for images on the page may come through a different
proxy than the original page request. AOL does this, as well as many
major companies.

Your entire update is complete nonsense. You only make a fool of
yourself when you correct someone with incorrect information.
