Hello, and apologies in advance for my severe ignorance here !!

I'm in the middle of setting up my NTL Broadband connection to use a wireless 3Com access point, and am stuck with regards to the IP setup. The access point can be configured to receive an automatic IP address OR be set with a static IP. I've set it to receive an IP from the modem and this occurs successfully (82.XXX.XXX.XXX). My problem lies in what IP address to then give to the wireless NIC in my PC. The access point will only function as a DHCP server when it has a static IP, which is useless when connected to the NTL modem, so I have to manually assign an IP to the NIC, but am stuck as to what IP to use. Any help greatly received.
