Do you need a public IP address to connect to a public server?

Can a computer have the same IP address as a router?

When the connection to the Internet is made, it is the router, not the computer, asking the ISP for the IP address. Through the router, a network of computers can share the same public IP address for outbound connections to the Internet. However, this doesn’t mean that your computer won’t still have an IP address.

How is the IP address assigned to a computer?

Once the lease is up, the same IP address is usually reassigned to the computer, so the computer can function with a relatively stable IP address. Contact your ISP to find out how your public IP addresses are assigned, and how often you can expect the address to change.
