RE: static IP question
No, it probably won't, because your ISP will still have the IP in its DHCP list. If you tell your computer to use a static IP, the DHCP server doesn't know that, and can still give the same IP to someone else.

Simple solution: get a router that stays on all the time, greater chance of not getting your IP reassigned. I'm doing this, and haven't had my IP change yet since I got service hooked up a month ago.
