| Changing IP Address |
|
An address on the Internet, or similar internal network, assigned to a particular user for only the duration of a particular session rather than on a permanent basis. Because the number of Internet addresses available to any branch of the network is limited, most Internet providers and large organizations maintain a pool of addresses that they assign to active sessions as needed. Then, when you log off, the address can be used for another user. Most Internet software allows both static and dynamic addressing at the user (client) end, but static addressing is still required for servers and for some older, more technical, and more complex client programs. |
