Is there a way to check if my internet connection is with a dynamic or static IP? I'm running OSX.

1Is your router set to DHCP? Get it to renew it's lease a couple of times or power cycle a couple of times - if you get the same IP, and you've asked your ISP to provide you with a static one, chances are you're getting one. I assume you gave your ISP the MAC address of your router? – sgtbeano – 2013-12-04T15:13:00.827
Check your ISP's account settings / accounts page / products page. They should tell you straight out whether they provide Dynamic or Static IP addresses. What ISP are you with ? – Lawrence – 2013-12-04T15:13:56.277
Since question is how to check it within the operating system (without restarting a router), then I consider this to be a good answer.

And Finding out if an IP address is static or dynamic? and Detect whether public IP address is dynamic or static
