For most people on normal household networks, you need to have DHCP enabled. Every device needs an IP address and someone (the router) needs to assign them.
My Asus router uses some sort of hashing algorithm based on (I assume) the mac address of the device to assign IP addresses. It's cool because every time a device connects, it gets assigned the same IP address without me needing to do anything.
Older routers generally dole out IP addresses based on the order that machines connect to it after a restart. This can cause issues when two devices on the network think they have the same IP address because one of them didn't realize that its IP address has been changed.
The solution with older routers is to assign a fixed IP to each device within the router settings. What is the make and model of your router? I can try to find some instructions on the web for you.
