Just a quick addition to this, or a tip if you prefer!  I've found that
many (if not all) routers these days have DNS built into them.  That means
the nameserver can usually just be 192.168.100.1 or whatever the router IP
happens to be. This makes it pretty easy to configure manual IPs in a
network without trying to remember an ISP DNS server.  Or better yet, it
prevents you from having to update every machine's configuration if the
ISP's DNS address ever changed. 
 
If anyone knows of any particular brand/model of routers which don't offer
such internal DNS capability, I'd be curious to know of them.
