When setting up a new Asus router, I was asked about my ISP connection and rthe possible answers were - Dynamic IP, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, and Static IP.
I have a static IP but still wasn't sure what the correct answer was - I was not asked what my static IP was?

Assuming this is a FTTC connection you'll need to select PPPoE. Your static IP will sort itself out automatically.

I fully accept what you say - but why does the static IP sort itself out? Do all static IP's sort themselves out? I would just like to understand this a bit better. Thanks

Quote but why does the static IP sort itself out?
It's assigned in much the same way as a dynamic IP, however the same IP is assigned rather than a different one for each time you connect.
There's a wealth of articles on the web about how IP addressing and related topics like subnetting so I'd get googling to learn more about the fundamentals.
