Changing A Dynamic Ip

If a dynamic IP address keeps changing, why do I see tips online about changing your dynamic IP address? 'Changing' a 'Dynamic address' sems a bit oxymoronish - or is me that's a moron for missing something here? I can see why I may need to change a static address, but why change something that changes anyway next time I access the internet?

Cheers,

Pete

It is really nice little tutorial. but can you tell in detail where is its application? what's the use of changing dynamic IP address. Everytime you get disconnected, the DNS will give you new IP address automatically. So, tell the applicability of changing the IP address?
I agree - can somebody please answer this because to me it seems no more than an academic problem - changing something that changes itself anyway! <_<

This would apply when you have a dynamic address that doesn't change often, as I have. I can reboot the modem, restart the computer, and still have the same address. This is helpful when you want to change it NOW.
