If your using a windows pc now, dial in and try winipcfg (win95/98/me) or ipconfig (NT/2000/XP). You probably don't want to set an ip for your side, or for you isp, most of those are assigned automatically when you dial in. The AT command set is a control mechanism for your modem - during installation, the defaults should be fine unless you've got very non-standard hardware (a really weird modem).
