anyone know how those sticky IPs differ from static IPs? Is it like static except not guaranteed to never change like you get notice or something if it does? I myself have never heard of a 'sticky ip'
I am pretty sure that "sticky static" refers to something akin to the MAC address reservation of IP addresses my router provides. In the case of my router, the DHCP server has a table of MAC addresses which are designated to get specified IP addresses. They are still assigned by the DHCP server, but always to the same device, by MAC address association. Not sure how they do it from the ISP perspective. But not static in the normal sense of the word.
