That was me. And no, your DHCP server should be ok with another device assigning itself an address within the range it is going to use... at least until the DHCP server wants to hand out the same one! Hence the suggestion to pick an address above where its likely to go. Feel free to amend/elaborate as you wish, I was just trying to make the point that manually assigning an IP address seems to work for quite a few people...
