Another important security consideration, which applies to each type of connection, is the type of network address that your computer is assigned. This is the IP address. Some types of connections, such as dial-up modem connections, give your computer a new network address each time that you connect, which is referred to as a dynamic address. Dynamic addresses make it difficult for a hacker to initiate any extended effort to break into your computer. Because your computer doesn’t use the same address for a long time, it’s like a moving target for hackers.
