Dynamic IP means it changes..usually when you log off or after X amount of time..
Static means it never changes..
My home connection for example is generally a static IP..BUT it does sometimes change once a year or 2..
My cellphone connection, my IP changes every time I connect for the most part..thats dynamic..
So you can see in general if your public IP changes or not..some hosts also allow you to request static IPs too...
As a mod I can see IPs and from the looks of it your IP hasn't changed since the beginning of this thread except one post where you seemed to have accessed from elsewhere..so from the looks of it your IP is static enough for a week..but on 01-02-2011 you had a different IP so doesn't look like its static enough for a month..
I would suggest to just in case setup a hostname for your IP so that its static..
