limey, are you setting the router to give out static IPs (on the server side), or are you setting up static IPs in Windows (on the client side)??? The former is what glytch suggests, the latter what I said.
I guess that if you use my method, and get rid of DHCP altogether, you'll solve your problems. Basically, your router should only give out IPs to those computers that ask for one; if you're not asking, none should be given. Hence the (supposed) logic of my approach.
But if you think/know I'm wrong, please say so, and describe why.
