Questions on ethernet modems and GRUB


Hi,
I have 3 questions to ask about GRUB and adsl ethernet modems. Here goes:

1) Do you know the steps to reinstall GRUB, in case the OS bootup screen disappears. (e.g when windows is reinstalled) ?

2) I want to buy an ethernet adsl modem. What models are compatible with linux ?

3) Presently I have a LAN connecting 2 pcs at home. The IP addresses and subnet masks are manually configured. Hence, if i install the adsl ethernet modem on 1 pc, do I have to change the NIC to use DHCP or can i continue using my manual IP and subnet settings?
My friend,whose linux connection works, told me to keep the manual settings while a linux book I read said most adsl connections use DHCP.


Please reply quickly if you can. Thanks!

I think for questions 1 and 2 a simple google search could answer them. Sorry if that doesn't help I know the Motorola Surf Board modem we have works just fine... although I'm on a wireless router and not plugged directly into the modem.

For question 3, someone more knowledgeable than me can answer them.
