    Hey guys im having a bit of a problem with my brothers xbox. He keeps losing xbox live connectivity. Not while in game usually even when he's browsing the marketplace. I think the problem could be dynamic ip addresses for the devices in the house. There's my xbox, brothers xbox, family laptop, iphone, and hero all which connect through wireless. The ip addresses are all dynamic and in the same range as each other. Could this be causing conflict between the various devices?

    Yup, your best bet is to assign ip addresses to your various devices

    Would it be ok to set them up as static ip's but retain the current settings? For example the xbox's ip is 192.168.0.198, which is currently dynamic. Is it cool to keep this ip but just set it to static? also is there a certain range for which i can set my ip's?

    No, to do it statically You need to pick an ip outside the dhcp pool (those reserved to be given out dynamically) which is probably 192.168.0.100-192.168.0.200. Try 192.168.0.99 which probably not in the dhcp pool
