Having trouble with Static IP

[Acoshi]

I have a Netgear 624v3 and I wanted to set Static IPs to all of the computers in my house (Mac and Windows). I managed to set the static IPs but my question is that whenever I do a "Renew DHCP Lease" my static IPs disappears and it ends with an IP address that ends in ".1" and when I renew again it goes to a ".2" and so on.

My question is why does it do this and is there a way for it not to assign a brand new IP address when I already have a static IP?

Thanks

Don't "Renew DHCP Lease" ?
Are you setting DHCP reservations on the router or simply configuring each computer with a static IP? Once you configure a static IP there really should be no reason to mess with it, just set it and forget it.
