Silly problem to connect to the Internet repeating

Hi,

I read the doc on gentoo.org and googled around to get connected to the Internet, however, I found
it appropriate only for static IP addresses.
I have a dynamic IP address.

What I did is:

ifconfig eth0 200.138.55.199 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add default gw 192.168.0.1
nano -w /etc/resolv.conf (and added the DNS provided by my ISP)

This works because the static IP address in ifconfig is the curent one that I figured out. But after
doing an adsl-start, the resolv.conf content changes to another pair of DNS. Also, if I get
connected the day after, the static IP obviously isn't the same, and I can't connect anymore.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
