It's almost guaranteed to be dynamic (DHCP), but unless another device gets that address in the interim, it will get the same IP over and over. Your ISP (if you can talk to someone who has a clue) can "make it happen" even then though. Can you leave it down for an extended period? Highly unlikely that it's static.... S! just doesn't have a clue
Even when an IP needs to be static... you let DHCP assign one, then lock it down.
Good luck!
