Ok, what you got below is through your router. That will give any computer connected to it a static ip, because the router holds the dynamic ip. Now just for your info on your wireless connection. Changing the password to get into the router is good, but won't keep anyone from stealing that bandwidth. To stop that you have to enable the wireless security features on the router. if you go with the standard setup and go. it will hold the router at what is called open, and everyone in range can hook up to it. When you set the security up you will get a key that has to be put in for you to hook up. That will let people still see you but not connect, and there is a feature on linksys to shut off the broadcasting, so only you with the keys can get on.
