WHy is my IP address changing?

1. Click on the taskbar search and type “Command prompt.”
2. Hit “Command prompt.”
3. Type “ipconfig/all” and press “Enter.”
4. Find the “DHCP enabled” line. “Yes” means your IP address is dynamic, and “No” means your IP is static.

Hello PeterQuinn, happy to help you today dear :)

You have reached a user-user forum where we try our best to help each other out. None of us here work for Microsoft and it is beyond our capability to assist directly with account or login-related issues.

That's because the IP address of “your” computer doesn't belong to your computer—it belongs to the network you're connected to. Your computer is just borrowing it for a while. That's why you'd have a different IP address at a coffee shop than the IP address you'd have at a hotel on the corner depending on the network you are connected to.

Hope this helps! have a great day

this is what I gathered:

When a device is assigned a static IP address, the address does not change. Most devices use dynamic IP addresses, which are assigned by the network when they connect and change over time.

Thanks for your help.

I have one concern.

I always connect to the same network.

I use a portable Wifi so the IP should be the same each time I log in.

But everytime, I login the IP address is different.

My ip address keeps changing
