where is static IP addr?

[MarkHaysHarris777]

usually i give the router the external IP and devices on local network get internal IP established by the router.

I do this as well;  in addition, I also have the router give the internal dhcp machines a "constant" address based on mac address;  this is not the same as a static address, but accomplishes the same thing -- all internal machines get an address which is fixed, but without coding a static IP.  ( not all routers support this, but most modern ones do )
