Ok. So I just bought a new PC for my bedroom. Bought a new router to go along with it. When connecting everything together, I was informed that I had to call Time Warner to register my new router with their RoadRunner service. I talked to Time Warner and they want to charge me about 50 bucks a month on top of what I am already paying to connect the router. Is there any way to go about finding the IP addy on my current router and set it up on the new one? Am I even on the right track? Basically, I don't want to pay more for something I already have...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No, Time Warner is probably trying to sell you thier home networking service. You should just need to set everything up, power cycle your modem and router, and be good to go. Unless your router needs to be reset with factory software. In that case, do that. Cable companies cannot prevent, or charge thier customers for using routers, they can only try to compete by selling thier customers thier own home networking service, in my opinion it isn't worth it, if your savvy enough to do it yourself.
Your cable modem will pull a good ip, the router then assigns your pc's and other devices thier own ips usually like 192.168....... your modem should be pulling a two digit ip like 71.23.124.23.<-- that is just an example, not a real, or valid ip.
