CORRECTION~!!!!
When an ISP uses dynamic IP addressing, what values are assigned to the client each time it connects to the ISP?

They usually give you your IP address from the pool of available addresses, your subnet mask, and DNS servers. There are also a whole bunch of other things that DHCP can assign if you machine will allow it, but its not common for an ISP to assign them to you. They are more for corporate environments. Here is a list of values: http://www.iana.org/assignments/bootp-dhcp-parameters

Above are right but a little clearer.
The ISP "buys" a range of IP address it can use in 4 octets.
ie: 135.135.135.135
They issue a IP address to their customers on a lease, meaning it is good for a number of days, generaly under 20 but can be set by the ISP. At this time or before it you r computer requests a new IP from the ISP server. It will generate a new one or in some cases issue the same one.
Go to a DOS prompt and type in ipconfig /all and see what you IP is. type in IP /release all and you must get a new one issues.

Honestly, I think timewarner uses some form of static IPs (ips that dont change). They dont advertise it as static ips, but you'll usually have the same IP for a long period of time unless you reboot your modem. So it isnt technically a static ip, its just a dynamic IP that barely ever changes. And yeh, the RIAA and MPAA do look at IP addresses and will demand your ISP to give them the owner of the IP so they can sue so. Sucks, doesnt it? I dont think they could track a dynamic IP (like on dialup), it would be pretty hard because you would keep moving. So the answer is that your not safe and you could get sued fairly easy if they wanted to. Oh, and yeh, if your banned your usually banned to that IP (not just the username). So if you get banned, you can try to get a new IP (sometimes its a little hard, you can unplug your cable modem for a while) and you'll be back.

When you use broadband/ADSL or broadband cable these connections are considered 'always on'.
With the dynamic Ip addressing, their servers are providing you with an ip within a certain range, in a certain class.
With dynamic, you go into a command prompt and type ipconfig /release, then ipconfig /renew to refresh the IP address. Or if you are using a router with PPPoE, you click to connect in the routers admin page, and you will see your IP address actually change.

This simply means your ISP gives you an IP address from a pool of addresses. Every so often your IP address will change. This is because the current IPv4 standard allows for only 4.3 billion IP addresses and has since caused shortages.

U need to buy a static ip address.
Dynamic ip can be any random ip from ur ISP which is not assigned to any other user

Normally, the DHCP server assigns the following:
IP address
Subnet mask (actually not assigned but calculated)
Default gateway
DNS server (at least one, usually two)
DNS domain name (optional, not all do this)
