It's used several different ways. Most often, I've heard it used referring to DHCP. A computer gets an IP address from DHCP, then is removed from the network. Until the lease period expires, the IP address is still linked to the removed computer. Therefore it is not available for lease by DHCP and is considered "dead".

I have not heard that term before, but I will guess that it means that a particular internet address is unreachable, e.g. it is "dead" to the rest of the Internet.
IP may, in this context mean the TCP/IP communications protocol's machine address, or IP address.

Hmmm. Haven't heard that term before, but I would say it probably means that a Paticular IP Address is not reachable (pingable) therefore it could be considered "dead" but there's always a chance the problem could be resolved or that network device to come back online again and be "alive" !!

The IP is dead, ie, no longer in use
