Configuring a router...

Hi!

Can anyone help me with very, very basic router
configuration instructions, please?

First question is: how can I tell if I have a dynamic
or static IP address?

Second, I want to be able to use both VNC and
pcAnywhere.  Symantec has posted the following
instructions for configuring a NetGear router: 

"In the Port Forwarding screen, enter ports 5631 and
5632. Add the local IP address where you want these
ports to forward to (for example, 192.168.0.3)."

Two questions about this - will those ports also be
compatible with VNC?

Secondly, how do I determine what local IP address I
want those ports forwarded to?

Thanks very much!!!!

Mary
