Slightly beside the point here, but we allocate fixed addresses over DHCP. Much easier to have all machines be DHCP clients, whether they need a dynamic or a static address. If we need a static address, we just update the /etc/dhcp.conf to have it dished out.
That too..... but hopefully he can get started first. He could also have the router assign IP's based on MAC address.
