And to follow up my own answer, it's possible it will try DHCP before 
defaulting to a built in address. Setting it up on a DHCP server (your 
router most likely) could fix the problem.

The best way is to use a reservation - where you specify on the router 
that requests from a specified Ethernet address always get the specified 
IP address.
