In your case it would be simpler to assign static IP's outside of the
DHCP range. For example, if the router is set to assign IPs from
192.168.0.10 to 192.168.0.100 and the netmask on that interface
is 255.255.255.0, then you can use 192.168.0.101 to 192.168.0.254
as you please.
As for permission problems with mounts, make sure that your config
files for your file server programs (smb.conf, exports, etc) have
IP address and not domain names in them.
If for example you have: (in /etc/exports)
/ *.flintstone.com(rw,no_root_squash)
It will do a reverse DNS lookup to make sure the host resolves to
<something>.flintstone.com.
if you have:
192.168.0.0/24(rw,no_root_squash)
Then anything on your lan should work.
