Static IP means the IP address is for one customer on one IP address.
Dynamic IP means the ISP assigns the customer a IP, but this is dependent upon the Internet Service Provider (ISP) because some ISP's only change the IP address as they deem it necessary.
Are you talking about a static IP for the local address: 192.168.0.10 which means the router won't assign a new local IP if you start the computer after another one in the same network?
This might conflict in ports given to anohter computer which runs on that given address, static local ip can solve this matter if thats what you want.
If you want a static IP for a server, you can assign a DNS name to the IP instead of using numbers which can be changed.
You can use for example:
myserver.com which is listening to ip: 123.123.124.1 even if the IP changes to 123.123.111.3 the domain can easily be changed to the new IP and the players can easily connect to the domain/dns instead of the numbered IP.
