Stupid? Why? You didn't have to set a static IP address in the first place.
I think that if you have renewed you DHCP lease first, it would have done
all 3 automatically (IP, default gateway, DNS).
All this information is part of the DHCP response and there is no way to
get it.
(In a typical broadband setup, your router gets the DNS setting from the
provider, and you get it from your router via DHCP).
