Don't the windows OS-es automatically assign themselves an IP when none is entered and there is no DHCP? Somehow I remember that being the case, but I don't think that's the situation here.
Smackre: if it just works by plugging it in, don't mess with it, there is no way to make it work 'better' by fiddling with DHCP. (big chance: you already have it set up that way). DHCP can only make things work that didn't before, it can't make things work 'better'.
The only other thing DHCP can do is make a network "maintenance easy" (by administering IP addresses for you) but I don't see how ->
