Who assigns my ip?

Question

Could I have my own ip? If so how? Who says that my computer has an ip, is the internet provider or Dhcp? Or is it the Network Adapter, Netbios, or Mac Address? Router? Or TC/IP protocol ?

Answer 1

It is always the DHCP server. The point is that since the internet is a network, there are several layers that can change this. For example. if your pc is connected directly on the modem, the DHCP of your provider will give you your IP, if there is a router in the middle of the way (and this is worth tbm for the ones that tbm are modems) then the router tbm has a small DHCP server and it will create another internal network and give you an IP of that network (and for the Internet, all the Pcs in this subnet have the same IP).

Usually providers provide residential customers with dynamic IP addresses, that is, their IP changes over time on the internet, but normally you can ask for static IP as an extra service with your provider, and of course, for a price.

I could have my own ip?

Yes.

If yes how?

Request IP

Who says my computer has an ip, is the internet provider or Dhcp?

When you hire a provider, it sets an IP for your router, this IP may be dynamic or static.
