Hi frutchie,

Often times, your MAC for your router is tied to your account with your ISP. So they've probably done the assigning of the static IP for you.

If you go to https://www.whatismyip.com/ do you notice if the IP is new or not. The only thing you can do is monitor.

Now, if they've told you that you have to set it up manually, then you'll need to enter the information given to you in your router. If you don't have a router, then most likely as mentioned before your ISP has already assigned you the static IP from their end.
