okay its not as simple as that.

i have just set a server up in my house and i want it to have a static ip address. so do i assign dhcp and then use that as my static? Also what is my dns? does it need to be my isp?

my assigned dhcp for server is: 192.168.1.102
my router is 192.168.1.1

i want to know what dns as i have set my server as dns as well. does this make sense?
 
I presume your using ** router as the DHCP server also? Or are you using ** new server?

either way you need to reserve the server address "192.168.1.102", there should be an option for this on your router.

you then have to set the IP on your server in the network properties.

your ISP will provide you with DNS servers which will also need configured on your server in order for it to connect to the internet (well translates web address etc.. into ip's). The DNS ip's can be found by doing a ipconfig/all in the command prompt or on your router settings. I am not sure whether you can set up your own DNS server
 
The alternative is to manually set the IP address on the server to a value that's outside the range provided by the router's DHCP.
