Strange Static IP Related Issue

$

I have Verizon fios, so my Router/Modem are one unit. I've looked all through the routers setting and I can't figure out why this problem exist.

I create a Static IP for all my internet connected devices in my house. My PS3 is 192.168.0.3, the xbox .4, computer .5, and so on and so on. 

I create the Static IPs manually on each device in the Advanced Wireless settings. It has nothing to do with my router. I do the static IPs because it makes streaming/sharing between devices easier, so I know which is which.


Well, it seems like I can't add any device to my network, that I DON'T setup a static IP. I got my daughter a Leappad Ultra for Christmas and I was getting it all setup and it has wifi, but it doesn't have any advanced settings. The only thing it has is search for SSID and enter wep/wpa key. 

It won't get on my network. I've notice this a few times when I've had people over and they asked for my wpa to use wifi on their phone and it didn't work, but it wasn't a big deal because they weren't staying long. 

I tested out my phone by turning off the static IP and same thing. It wont connect unless the static IP setting is in use. 

DHCP is turned on in my router settings and if I use something that's hard wired with Ethernet, it seems to automatically obtain a IP address. 


Any thoughts?
