(Get the code!)
Not directly related to your bug, but I have the same issue with my household setup.
What I did was instead of setting up all the PC's I needed with static IP's I used the dhcp function of my router software to "pin" certain IP's to MAC addresses. That way when my desktop requests an address, it gets the same address every time. I can then set up port forwarding to a certain IP and be safe in knowing that that MAC will get the right IP.
It's a much cleaner way of setting it up and will save you a lot of grief. Feel free to email me at "puddpunk at gmail dot com" if you need help.
