Hello,
I have a question regarding how distribution of IP Addresses work.
Let's say I turn off my computer at night (it's the only network device in my house), what does happen to the IP Address while the computer is asleep?
Is there a chance that it's assigned to another person's computer in the same ISP as me?
And once I turn on my computer back on, and he turns his, my IP Address gets back to me as if it never left?
Am I in the right direction of understanding it?
Thank you upfront.
