There are a few times I have seen however that a static IP address is better. We have a NAS at home that serves all our files and has all our media stored on it. Windows seems slow to re find it after an IP address change so static IP is better for that device. But if you set up static IP addresses, set them up in your router and leave the device you are assigning a static IP to using DHCP. That way the router will reserve that address and hand it out to the device every time, rather than trying to assign it to something else.
