IS assigning of IP through DHCP is SAFE ??

Friends as we know that DHCP(dynamic host configuration protocol) is a fundamental technology to assign IP addresses to computers connected to a network.

One of my friend has told me that his computer occasionally receives a wrong IP address . He was telling that 10.x.x.x address we normally get from my ISP, he got a 192.168.x.x address. That means that there's probably a misconfigured device somewhere on the network. So actually i didnt found any sort of idea on this so hope from u all.. ......

Thank you..

    Ya goyal is right.
    let me explain in brief rishi.
    Actually there are two types of IP address one is dynamic and another one is static.
    Static IP address is used in large network like google IP address is not changed.
    Where as dynamic IP keeps changing every time the computer logs onto the network that,s what your friend find.
    It's not any problem.

    Correct me if i m wrong.

    DHCP for private networks are usually handled by routers in that network, and not given by the ISP. Both 10.x.x.x and 192.168.x.x are valid private address ranges, so it depends on how the router in the particular network is configured. Ask your friend to run a ipconfig/all command at the command prompt to check what IP his gateway is.

    DHCP would be recommended for networks with many computers to avoid conflicts. Static private IP addresses are usually given for network devices such as gateways, network printers, etc.
