I may be misunderstanding your needs, but typically IP addresses are assigned
dynamically. The host {} section for the laptop is only needed if you need
special settings for that particular host - such as the ethernet address.
Unless you need the laptop to always have that certain hostname, you should
just be able to remove the host {} section and any devices, including the
laptop, should get an IP address from the pool.
