    Use this as a guide, modify accordingly.

     

    LAN address of router: 192.168.1.1

    DHCP Pool 192.168.1.100 ~ 192.168.1.200

     

    Assign a static IP, subnet mask and gateway to the Dell's NIC which is above or below the DHCP pool range specified above.

     

    or

     

    Re-enable  the Address Reservation.  Assign an IP which is (again) above or below the DHCP pool you've specified to the Dell's NIC MAC address.  Leave DHCP enabled on the NIC, disable / enable the interface.  It will grab the IP you specified in the reservation. 

     

    If you use my suggestion(s), the IP will never change, no device will ever get the Dell's IP and your port forwarding will work without issue.
