Thanks to everyone who replied.
I should have mentioned that I am back on line and my static IP is working. I just found it odd that Cox would offer a different IP than the one I am assigned if I did not set my router up for a static IP. I assumed that when my router asked for the IP Cox would provide the static IP automatically.

If you do that, reboot your modem at the same time. From a docsis level
they filter only one mac at a time (unless you pay for more), and
flipping mac's won't always simply work.
