Now this I really don't understand. It refused to work. I took extreme measures and logged into my router via telnet (the java web interface doesn't work in OS X/IE 5.2) and removed the DHCP entry in the router's table. I reset the network settings in OS X so it had a dynamic DHCP address. Et Voila internet returns. 'Ahh' I think, it must be blocking that one IP address. So I decided to test my theory. I restored the static entry to the DHCP table on the router and reset the networking in OS X to use it and... presto. It now works on it's original static IP.
