Yeah, you are absolutely right.
This is one (rather the only !) advantage with dial-up modem, wherein your PC when connected to your ISP, is supposed to take a DYNAMIC IP ADDRESS. The Broad-band connected PC, even though lightning fast, has a STATIC IP ADDRESS. This, people say, helps the hackers to target a broadband enabled PC than a PC with a dial up connection to the internet.

Maybe. It depends on whether your ISP has recycled the address out to another. If not, you will get the same one back again. When you connect to your ISP the first time, you get an assigned IP address from a pool of addresses. There is a time limit on the "license" to this address. When the time runs out, the address is renewed for another period of time.. When you disconnect, your ISP makes the address available for recycling. Later, when you connect again, the first thing your machine tries to do is renew the livense on the last IP address you had. Your ISP will renew the address if it was not given to someone else, so yes, you could very well get the same address back again the next time you log in. This is known as a "dynamic ip" address. The less people on your ISP at any one time, the more likely you will renew the same IP address as the last time you connected.

Yes The Internet Service Provider gave you the IP address doesn't change until you change the ISP, or pay the same ISP to reinstall the internet with a different IP add. The payment would be equal to the normal installation charges the ISP takes, coz its just like u r taking a fresh internet connection.

Probably.
If you connect to the same ISP, you'll get a 'random' address allocated from the ISP's pool. You may get the original one back again (it depends what allocation rule the ISP uses and how long you stay disconnected).
