You can only have a static IP address if your internet provider allowed you to have one and assigned you a static IP address most ISP do not give you static IP address unless you pay extra.

I'd contact your ISP before you go playing around with those settings. You may have to actually manually enter the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway info. If so you can't just pick one you need to use the one your ISP assigned to you originally.

And DNS servers.

No two devices on a network can have the same IP address. If you guess and use one that is already in use, you'll knock that device off the network along with your own PC. Keep guessing and knock a few more devices off, and your ISP won't be impressed. They will have a set rang of IP's set aside for static use, only they know what they are. There isn't much we can do so you're better off calling them. Why do you need or want a static IP? Is your internet working when set to dynamic?

You are going to have to call your ISP to get that set up correctly.

Well um , I called them and said to them if it is possible to change my IP back to Static , but they said , we need to pey extra per month in a new packet...But wait first of all how is this possible since I had static IP in the past , and now , I can't...Woah...Also I think changing to Static is worse than having dynamic isn't it ? Because Dynamic changes automatically , and you are somewhat safer ... Wtf... And static IP doesn't change at all...Omfg... **** this ISP !

The common use for static IP address is when you use your PC as a Web Server or be able to access your PC remotely using a domain name registered with that static IP address. Depending on what ISP you have, they don't usually change your IP address if you leave your cable modem on. If you power off your cable modem or due to power outage, then a new IP might be assigned to you. However, you can also establish the same thing with Dynamic DNS.

All most all ISP's charge extra for a static IP. Yes dynamic changes automatically, but even then you could have the same IP for quit a long time. Unless you are hosting a web site or a file server or something similar you don't need a static IP. That's why I asked you why you wanted one.

To set up for a dynamic DNS:
  1. Google for "Free DNS host service" and register with a username & password. They will assign you a domain name. For my use, I registered with Managed DNS | Email Delivery | SMTP | Domain Registration
  2. Using the information in step 1. Log into your router and enter in the "Dynamic DNS" section. Your router will update your current IP Address with the DNS host service on a scheduled basis.
  3. In the router. Set up each PC/Devices with a port forwarding. Now you can access your PC/Devices from anywhere using the domain name assigned to you in step 1.
