You know, static NAT just pins one outside address straight to your inside machine forever. It stays put, no swapping around. I use it when you need that one server always reachable the same way. Dynamic NAT, though, grabs from a pool and hands them out as needed. Machines share those outside spots temporarily. It juggles more devices without wasting addresses.
Picture this. You fire up RRAS on your Windows Server. I click into the NAT section first. For static, I pick the interface, then add that fixed mapping right there. You enter the inside IP and outside one, boom, it's locked. Dynamic setup? I create a pool of addresses instead. You tell it the range, and RRAS assigns them on the fly to whoever asks.
I remember tweaking mine last week. Static felt solid for that web thing you had. Dynamic saved the day when a bunch of users piled on. You just watch the leases expire and reuse. No fuss, really.
