I like the way VM does residential IP assigning, personally. DHCP by MAC with timeout of 24 hours after which the address goes back into the pool. If you really want to keep that IP, keep your modem on. Pretty simple. I'd have a dynamic DNS account anyway, just in case you want to access things at home from elsewhere and you're worried something might happen that'll change your address.
