I agree that dhcp by default gives an IP address in a given range on a LAN.
But I don't think this is what is normally meant by "dynamic IP".
Actually it gives out addresses on any kind of network, not just a LAN.
Your ISP probably uses DHCP to assign you an IP address. I know mine
does. And DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, so in my
book it's exactly what "dynamic IP" means.
