The DHCP server has no way of knowing what static IP addresses are in use
in your network. So unless you take care and tell your DHCP server not to
assign certain IP ranges of addresses, it will issue duplicate values, and
you could end up with two computers sharing the same IP address.

You can't have DHCP and static IP addresses share the same address ranges.

(note: when I say static IP address I mean IP addresses assigned directly
on the computer and not where DHCP has been told to use a fixed IP address
for a given MAC address).

Apologies if this was already addressed and I missed it.
