Yeah the thing is, you have 2 IP addresses. The one you see as static is the networks interal IP for that computer. This'll always be static. The external one is the IP that other clients can communicate to, outside of lan. So if someone is going to join your games that IP is the one they will connect to. The internal one (probably 192.168.1.x or something similar) is only for clients connected to the same router as your computer. I don't know if having a dynamic IP is an issue to iCCup when hosting but I suppose it could be. You can find your external IP on whatismyip.com. Also the DMZ has to be set to your local IP, just to clarify.
yeah i was gonna pount this out. its the internal one you need to worry about, you can check it by typing ipconfig into CMD. Just as a word of advice, when your setting your internal ip some routers have a specific range you must use for either dynamic or static ip's. On my dlink ip's 192.168.0.100 - 192.168.0.199 are reserved for dynamic ip's and .200 - .400 is reserved for static ips so manually setting your ip to say 192.168.0.105 or something wont work properly.
Maybe this will help you, I had this problem when i was trying to forward my ports to my router.
