Hi, guys how are you doing?

I think I have static IP Address because when I saw on the Static routes, the network address, subnet mask and Gateway are added. And also on the Routing table, the static IP is listed, for more information see in the Routing table.

Flags	Network Address	Netmask	Gateway	Interface	Metric
C	0.0.0.0	0.0.0.0	84.235.112.254	PVC1	0
C	84.235.112.254	255.255.255.255	directly	PVC1	1
S	90.148.151.98	255.255.255.255	84.235.112.254	PVC1	1
C	90.148.110.237	255.255.255.255	directly	PVC1	0
C	192.168.1.0	255.255.255.0	directly	LAN	0
C	127.0.0.1	255.255.255.255	directly	Loopback	0

My question is, If it is static IP Address, how could I add ( apply ) in my Router?

thanks

No, that is a static route for 90.148.151.98 via the default gateway 84.235.112.254. It's not a static IP, and is odd that it is there given that you already have a default route (0/0) via 84.235.112.254.

Best way to see if you have a static IP (assuming you are on an ADSL connection):

1. Goto www.whatismyip.com and note down your IP address
2. Turn your ADSL modem off, wait 10 seconds, then turn it on again
3. Repeat step 1 and see if your IP address is the same

My guess is you'll have a different IP address, and so it's not static.

A static IP is given to you by your ISP, not normally set in your modem.
