DHCP, just means that your computer will just get it's IP address (and Subnet Mask and Default Gateway) from a DHCP server (generally your router or cable/dsl modem) -- This simplifies networking by automatically managing the network address and settings.

Static is when you set the IP Address, etc. manually. This is generally not needed for the average home user.
