I do not consider an IP address that is allocated by DHCP to be static.
A static IP address is configured as such in your network interface
properties. In other words, in Debian it would be an IP address in a stanza
that starts with "iface <interface> inet static", or in Windows, it would be
an IP address that you enter manually after clicking "Use the following IP
address".
