Open a DOS window, and type the command:
ipconfig /all
Look at the results. If the line Dhcp Enabled has a Yes beside it, you have a dynamic IP address. You'll also see at the bottom of the output when the lease was obtained and when it expires. This is when your machine got the IP address, and when it will be getting a new one from the DHCP server.
If the line Dhcp Enabled has a No beside it, you have a static IP address.
In all likelihood, you have a dynamic IP address. Static is available on ADSL connections, but it usually costs more.
