If you're running Windows on your machine right now, you can jot down the appropriate values (IP, netmask, gateway, DNS) from winipcfg. Otherwise, you can usually call their technical support line to get the relevant information -- though they may give you a hard time about it. There's not a very good reason to run DHCP on Rogers@Home anyways-- my IP address was not changed for a year or so after I signed up. It changed after that only because I moved. HTH, Erik.
