I would try finding out what his IP address is when he is being assigned an ip address and set it to that static. Likely it assigns IP addresses from a pool, or from a list of MAC addresses to IP table.

So if you set it to his you should connect and if it's taken or it won't connect, try a nearby IP address as it may be taken already if it's from a pool.
