I am so sorry. I know it is a terrible thing to have your memory go.
He HAS said why. He wasnts to be able toaddress his phone so he can ftp
to it, and transfer files to and from the phone using his Win computer.
As such not having to figure out what the IP address of the phone is
each time he does so is a convenience and he wants that convenience.

Having the router always give his phone the same IP is not a problem.
Having his phone assume an IP is also not a problem on his home network
is also not a problem on his home network is also not a problem if he is
careful to make sure he does not assign from the router's dynamic IP
range and that nohting else has that IP. It can be a problem if he then
takes his phone onto another network.
