    I'm on satellite and my ISP assigns me a dynamic IP address.  Should I change to a static IP address.  Right now I can't access the internet when the server is connected to my network. Or does the IP assigned by my ISP a concern at all as log as my router and server is static?

    Your external dynamic IP address is just fine. When you register your server with the Microsoft homeserver.com website, the WHS will act as a lookup, and will keep your dynamic address in lockstep with your registered name.

    Internally, you have two options, the preferred method being a reserved IP, and the other, being a static IP with it's associated entries.
