Normally ISPs do not give "fixed Ips" but you can ask for one....Or if you have a Router it can be configured through it....

Ok First things first. Does you pc connect through a modem to ATT, and does the modem have wireless. Most providers can provide a fixed IP if requested, but usually your pc is connected vi a modem and the modem itself provides the IP address, ie the modem will have one IP to the WAN ( net) and the pc will have another ip LAN ( local ), basically to sort this out we need to know how you connect to the net. If you connect via a modem then usually you can assign your pc an Ip address that wont change.
