To set up a static IP on a Mac: http://www.portforward.com/networkin...ic-Mac10.4.htm

But, remember, you also need to make sure that the static IP you set up is not in the range that your router considers for DHCP IPs. So, if you tell your router to use 192.168.1.200 and above for DHCP, then make sure your static IP is below that.
