I still don't understand why having a static address precludes connecting to it? I do static addresses and DHCP assigned addresses and everything can talk to each other, as long as the static addresses are outside of the DHCP pool range. The only issue would be if you have set the static address to a different subnet then what is used by your DHCP server. (for example if your DHCP server was assigning addresses in the 192.168.1.100-200 range and you assigned a static address of 192.168.2.25 to the wandboard. Then computers assigned by the DHCP server can't connect to the wandboard, but it is because it is on a different subnet, not because it is a static address. BTW I deal with this issue all the time, by just temporarily changing my laptop to a static address set to the same subnet as the other device, then it can talk to it.
