   Correct.   
   It was my fault for not being clear that the Android phone is set up to   
   "request" a certain IP address (i.e., 192.168.1.15) whenever it connects to   
   a given named access point.

   I agree with all of you that it's more elegant to assigned a fixed IP at   
   the DHCP configuration of the access point.   
      
   One open question I have is what happens under the current circumstances   
   when the Android device requests an IP address of 192.168.1.15 of the   
   access point ... if ... if the access point has already handed out that IP   
   address to another device?
