I won't have my S3 until tomorrow to know exactly what the menus are, but on Android 2.4 you would go to wireless settings, click menu > advanced, click "Use static IP" (which says below it "manually configure IP settings" and then put in your IP address, gateway and netmask. <br />
<br />
Surf said he clicked that and it filled in his info for him, which is possible. Regardless if it fills it automatically, or you enter it, at that point that is the ONLY IP it will use. It no longer looks to the router for an IP, so there is NOTHING to configure on the router.<br />

The only thing you need to do is make sure that the static IP manually entered into the phone is not within the range the router is using for DHCP.<br />

Surf, it doesn't matter what IP you use on your phone, whether it's .194 or something else, you just want to make sure it's not within the range your router is using for DHCP. The only reason for avoiding that is because your router could then give the same IP to another device on your network and then you will get an IP address conflict. So, since you say the router is using 100-199 for DHCP, you want to use something below or above that for your static IP. You don't need to enter the IP address you choose in the router, just key it into your phone, something like .210 or something.
