Addendum ( I forgot to mention this ):

DHCP is dynamic. The DHCP-server assigns an available
IP-address out of
a range.
So after a reboot you might have a different IP-address.

Maarten Slegtenhorst

Probably.

However, it is also possible to use DHCP and assign an specific IP
address based on the MAC address of the NIC. I do this on my home
network. Why do this? So that the IP address stays the same, but the
other information is dynamic and so that the IP configuration is
centralized at the DHCP server and not on each workstation. This allows
for a uniform "workstation image".
