Can I create a static IP on our iPad when our network uses DHCP?
iPad Wi-Fi, Mac OS X (10.6.4), Currently in Our Fleet: 3 Macs, 1 iPad, 2 iPod Touches, 2 iPod Classics, 1 Nano

iPad/Touch connectivity was great until Charter upgraded our router to an SMCd3gn yesterday. We like what the router does for all our other Macs but the mobiles are not happy. I've read about the glories of giving them a static IP but I can't figure out how to do it when our network is DHCP. Do I use the IP address currently assigned on the DHCP screen? The other thing is that we have to use OpenDNS numbers on all the computers or the router is extremely slow, unlike the old one so it's definitely the router. Does this complicate things? If I can make the iPad static could someone tell me what goes where? Surprisingly, this is not yet on the web.
