Hi,

Last night, after 6 years of good loyal service, my D-Link router died.  I just happened to have a never used 2 year old Netgear router in my closet.  I hooked it up and everything was fine at first. I have a static IP and it changed.  I called Cox and was told I needed to configure my router to tell them what my IP is.  I'm not a network guru, so this hit me kind of strange.  I thought they assigned IP's.  
       
Any thoughts on this are much appreciated.
