On some websites it states your ISP address is being recorded. My question is when I log on it shows my address...shouldn't it be the same number everytime when I log on or does it change everytime? For example when I log on it will show something like this 5.365.21.431 and other times like later in the day or an hr. or so later when logging on it shows a different number. Is this normal or is something up with my computer?

You ISP provider assigns the dynamic IP address in case you have a dial up or DSL and IP address changes everytime you reboot your pc, If you want an specific IP address for you PC, You can get one from your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
Some people prefer static IP (fixed IP address, which never changes) and this is useful when you want to remotely access to the pc from outside, hosting website or ftp and this is much common for people who works from home or small businesses.

If you are on static IP then it won't change.
If you are on a normal web connection it will change every time you connect, but normally only the last two groups will change.
