I see the options for setting up the dlink 604T are ppoe/oa, static

simply setting up the router like any other (non static IP) adsl

Yep.


So as I understand the router gets it's static IP and dns etc
automatically. Correct?

No - how would it? That would be dynamic (DHCP). If you have a static IP
from your ISP, you enter your assigned public IP, the ISP's router IP
(gateway), subnet mask, and DNS server addresses there.


So when would one use those >choose static IP and complete all the dns
feilds etc?

Well - seems pretty clearly phrased....you choose that if you have a static
IP. :-)


On the WAN tab I see the tab "dynamic ip" is selected. I'm just not
too clear on the options and why they are even there.

If you have a dynamic public IP, you use that.

As far as the specifics of your Dlink, you should look at its documentation
or the website - this isn't an SBS issue and the answers won't be specific
to SBS.
