Daft question, what static IP for my RPi.. what address?

[Scam]

I think I'm confusing myself here.. my router is set-up as follows:

IP Address: 192.168.0.1
DHCP: On
IP Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Nothing weird, all basic stuff with only 2 PCs on it. I'm troubleshooting some wireless problems with my Raspberry Pi. I want it to have a static IP in my network so I can do things with it (remote/Android control etc.) so I've assigned it to be 192.168.0.99. Is this wrong? Does the static IP need to be outside of the DHCP range, or within it? And, er, what exactly is the range?

Thanks!

So it needs to be within the range? I'm seeing conflicting things on Google!

Thanks. I've reserved it to 192.16.0.99 and changed the RPi to use DHCP. Seems to have connected fine. I'll wait and see if I get any disconnects like I did previously. I went round the houses a bit as the wireless adapter I was using was known to have a power saving function, which would bizzarely cut the connection even if it was being used (!), so when I was gettign connection drops I've assumed I hadn't done the fix for that correctly (first time using Linux etc.). Perhaps it didn't like a static IP ... I will report back!
