Hello Isreal... Yes, you need fix addresses, (ie you need to know the addresses before they are assigned, so you can route them.). But you got lots of options here... One way is to reconfigure the pc's with fix addresses. But you loose the advantages of the DHCP automatic configuration. So I wouldn't really do it this way. The second method is to tell dhcp to always give out the same address to the mentioned pc's. This is relatively easy to do, as all that is needed is to add a "host" section for each pc. Such a section needs only 2 parameters: the hardware address (MAC), and the ip address to use. The third method, is to have DHCP tell DNS what addresses it has given out and to whom. With this solution, the addresses may change but the host name resolution does not. This method does not work to well firewalls with which you need to enter the address. And using a name resolution in your firewall is an additional security (one more thing to worry about). Not that I would do it this way, but.... You could change the lease time so that the each pc keeps it address for months....
