Why do you want to pick a specific IP address? Knowing this we may be able to advise further.

If its just to work out the current winner of a fight and no history is saved then what diffrence would having a dynamic ip be as it will still be the same why you play.
Plus the OP wants to know if its possable to have dynamic ip in a certain range so dosent seem botherd if its not the same other wise static would of done.
Shed some light on on the reason you want a certain dynamic ip range OP ?

In relevance to some of your comments, I'm pretty sure Plusnet has the IP ranges I would like.
I don't want one specific IP, it can be a range of numbers, I'll offer some examples. (these are the last two prefixes) (0.0) (0.1) (8.0) (8.1) (16,0) etcf.. as you can see there's a pattern.

Quote from: OoolayziiBooYooO Ok guys thanks for the feedback. Well the reasons I'm asking this is because I'm currently studying an honours degree in computing & networking, and am doing research on IP addresses etc. (I dont want to bore you with the stuff I'm doing)
Can't your place of study provide the means to carry out the research you're doing?

You can get a block of 4 (2 usable) or 8 (6 usable) IPs but of the usable IPs one is automatically assigned to your router so you only have 1 or 5 spare to play with. The remaining two are your network address and broadcast address. If you really have a very good case you might be able to get a block of 16 (14 usable) but it is very rare that PN will allocate such a large number.
Finally, not all plusnet packages allow static IPs.

You don't really explain why you would need an ISP to supply these specific IP addresses. Is it feasible to have these setup locally? ie network two PCs together on a LAN, setup DHCP and specify the range of IPs the DHCP server can issue to the other machine accross the LAN?
Surely if you are experimenting and peforming research it is more wise to perform this research in a controlled and secure environment - a LAN - and not via your ISP?

Interesting requirement
Do these allocations have to be of publically routed IP addresses? If not, why not investigate setting up a gateway box running dhcpd behind which runs a private network. Then configure dhcpd to offer your client box(es) on the private network with IP addresses of your choice (eg in Unix dhcpd v3 by using the fixed-addresses declaration). You could then use NAT either at the boundary router or the gateway (or they could be the same box) if you need the clients to be able to access, or be accessed by, internet hosts.

And you haven't touched on how global IP addressing is handled by ISP's?
Think about it, what would happen if three of the .x.x address you perticularly want happend to be already assigned to another subscriber?
Not to mention that the likelyhood of .x.0 and .x.1 not being reserved is fairly slim.
Personaly I think your backing a looser on this one.
