Except for two minor points:
1) The hack attempt may have placed a trojan into your computer. On dialup it will take a while to transfer it, but if the transfer is complete and the trojan is activated, it will try to call home no matter how your IP switched.
2) Unless you have a firewall you wont see anything happen (Unless the hacker chooses to do something user obvious), and if you do see anything it will be a notification you were attacked and that the attack was unsuccesful. If the firewall lets the attack through it probably wont do more than log the connection.
