Ideally he shouldn't have to do that. I don't know how Macs work specifically, but in all the windows networking I've done.. the router should be assigning that IP automatically. DCHP (a function of most routers) automatically assigns IP addresses (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) as computers join in under the shared connection of the router. I don't know of Gigabit/CAT6 should change this.. but he shouldn't be manually changing his IP address. If anything changes within the network, he could lose connectivity again...
