Open Network preferences and select your Ethernet port (if that is the port you are setting up) and see what IP address has been assigned by the router's DHCP server. Select Manual from the Configure IPv4 drop down menu. You should see everything included that was provided with DHCP except now the IP address for the computer will read 0.0.0.0. Replace that with the DHCP assigned IP address (for example if the DHCP assigned address was 10.0.1.195, then enter that. You will also need to include a DNS address if one is not included. This should be the DNS assigned to you by your ISP. You will find it in the information listed in Airport Utility. Click on the Apply button.
I'm not sure why you want to do this since it's far more convenient to use DHCP. If you should change routers you will need to reconfigure Network preferences again. You will also need to remember not to assign the IP address to any other device on your network (such as a network printer.)

How To Find Dhcp Address

- To configure manual bindings, you must enter the client-identifier DHCP pool configuration command with the appropriate hexadecimal values identifying the DHCP client. To configure a manual binding, first create a host pool, then specify the IP address of the client and client identifier or hardware address.
- If the printer's DHCP client software can be reconfigured to stop sending any DHCP Client Identifier, you may choose to do that. Or reconfigure the printer so it doesn't rely on its DHCP client software; have it learn its IP information via BootP or manual configuration. Or get the vendor to fix the DHCP client firmware (through a firmware update).
- Use DHCP or a manual IP address on Mac An internet Protocol (IP) address is a number that identifies each computer across the internet or a network. When you connect to the internet or an IP network, your computer needs an IP address. Your IP address can be provided in two main ways.
Using Dhcp With Manual Address Machine
Two shots in the dark here: does the network in question require a DHCP Client ID to be set in Network Preferences? (System Preferences Network Advanced TCP/IP)? Some networks do require that. Second, is the router set to block the MBP's MAC address? That would account for the failure to connect via OS X or Win7.
