DSL/cable "modems" (unlike routers) are layer-2 devices and therefore do not
have IP addresses (they're simply not capable of having one) - rather, they
have MAC (hardware) addresses. Another example of layer-2 devices is a
basic switch. Layer-3 devices like routers work with IP addresses.
If I may make a recommendation, read up on OSI layers.

Although I don't understand that fully, it still kinda makes sense and
helps. Thanks Aaron.

Are you talking about static IP addresses on your own network or out in the
world? Like, my configuration at home is as such:
DSL moden plugs into WAN port on Router
Router has 123.123.123.123 for WAN or other such Internet IP address as
assigned by my ISP.
Router has 192.168.0.1 for LAN IP address
Servers and workstations are 192.168.0.2-254

p.s. And now I'm confused as I sit here thinking about it. Wouldn't it
actually be the DSL modem that has the WAN IP address? But I know that I
specify my WAN ip address in my router's configuration.
