If it is a Desktop that is always in the same location (same network), then you can use the Network configuration to assign it a Static IP (outside the routers DHCP block. That size is also in the routers config.)

Oh, I have for so long wanted never to delve into router settings - they make me feel small and stupid. But I bit the bullet, did what you said, and it seems to work. Thanks for your help.
