Why so complicated?

A static IP address for the PC is assigned in Windows' own network
config. In Network -> Properties -> TCP/IP Properties, just set "Use
the following IP address" and be done with it. The DHCP server and
client don't enter into the picture at all.

All the machines on my home network have static IP addresses so I
always know which machine is generating what traffic.
