Don't worry about setting static IP addresses on the machines themselves, just leave them using DHCP and set up all the addresses in the router. That makes it a simple browser job to do it and a reboot of the machine that has just had a fixed address assigned in the router.
I don't know if you would get 200M out of EOP adapters, I had them out to my shed (About 100M by wire) and the link was slow and unreliable. I ended up putting a CAT5E link over to it. Soon to be upgraded to a fibre link.
