It absolutely refuses to renew, even though I'm positively, absolutely sure it's a dynamic address. This has never happened to me before. I've manaully tried releasing and renewing it, renewing it through the router interface, shutting down the router every single night, etc. It just won't renew. Help?

I don't think this should be anything to worry about, unless you're trying to...uh...evade IP bans or something without using a proxy. Although you probably aren't...just in case...you aren't confusing this with your network interface card address, are you?

Why do you need your IP address to be dynamic

Reasons I can't discuss here.

Nevermind, though. I called and found out that my ISP had purposefully done it, and now I'm considering terminating my services and moving to someting that respects my right to privacy.
