ok so a few days ago my modem died on me and my isp sent me out a new one i have the dreampi connected to my modem via Ethernet. what i need help with is i need to use port forward just in case any of the games i play online need the prts forward, how do i find my dreamcast ip address?

so heres what i need help on

#1 i need to know how to find the ip address of my dreamcast
#2 i need to know how to setup a static ip for the dreamcast if i even need a static ip
#3 i need to know how to forward the ports in my router/modem combo the router is built into the modem

also if it matters i only have 2 devices connecting via wifi my cellphone and my kindle fire all other devices connect via ethernet including my PS4

Most routers allow DMZ, which I use so no ports were ever opened up on my router...and all games work.
