Of course, you *do* need to have this as an option from your ISP first.
Unless you're talking about assigning an internal machine, or non-internet
machine that static IP.
You may already know this, but just in case, you need to lease a static IP
address from your ISP, or purchase a license for one through InterNIC, in
order to put a machine on the internet with a static IP address. If you wing
it, and make up an IP address, it will conflict with another one on the net
in due time, if not immediately.
