No, because your ISP bought/leased blocks of IPs. It's only a problem if your ISP sees a spike in new customers because they can't buy any more IPs.

I have a dynamic IP

wat do

[QUOTE=Jsm;27783727]No, as mentioned many pages ago. IP address's are assigned to ISPs not to individual users so even if you have a dynamic IP there will not be problems as your ISP "owns" your IP (and can give it to any of their customers). From what has been said in this thread it seems that ISPs have many IPs spare so even new customers won't be a problem (for now anyway).

The real problem IMO is new things coming onto the internet for which people would usually get a new IP from someone who can assign them. So for example web hosts might have trouble getting IP (v4) addresses for their customers.[/QUOTE]
