Hello,

I believe to meant to say you have a dynamic IP. Static IP's are called static because they do not change, while dynamic addresses do.

The only solution would be to contact the Internet Service Provider to see if they can offer a static IP for you. Many charge for this though.

Otherwise, providers like www.gameservers.com give you a static IP with your game server.
