No, I use a mixed DHCP/static IP scheme on my home LAN, ie. static for desktops and DHCP assigned
for wireless/wired guest devices like laptops and PocketPCs... As long as the static IP addresses
are outside the possible range of DHCP assigned IP addresses your good to go... In my case my DHCP
server assigns IP addresses starting at 192.168.11.100 and goes up (I use a Buffalo WBR-G54
router/wireless access point). I assign static IP addresses starting at 192.168.11.11 for my fixed
nodes.

If I remember correctly, my old Linksys BEFSR41's DHCP server started at 192.168.1.100. That is
configurable in the router administration pages...Check your Users Manual of the Linksys support
pages for help...and the link I pointed you to earlier...
