Under the assumption that you are plugging into a network supplied from a DHCP server the IP address may be the same but may be anything within the pool of addresses that it is to supply.

Thanks Ed!
Do you know what it points to when a port address as an additional 4 digits, such as for instance...
192.168.0.210:1234
Specifically, it's an instruction where inside Windows Media Player open a url...the ip address above.
Wish to understand it...
Many thanks in advance.

Your media player is talking to the server through port number 1234.

I think you are operating under a false assumption. The port most likely will not give out he same IP address which would be handled by your DHCP server not the switch. I say most likely because DHCP lease have a time to live and it is usually set in hours.
