Hi,
I'd suggest leaving it as static as the automatic IP can vary once the dhcp lease expires.
So you'll have more issues connecting to it as you'll need to know what the new IP is. the third octet won't change, just the fourth.
eg, it could have 192.168.1.84 today, after 6 days, it could have 192.168.1.86.
a very handy network scanner I use in my work is the softperfect network scanner. It has loads of options and helps identify what IP your devices have got in a range.
