Here's the deal. When you turn on anything that's connected to your router it's given an IP. The IP is selected by your router from a list and assigned to that particular device so the router can route information to and from it. Since the IP is chosen from a list, it's possible for the router to assign it a different IP from time-to-time...as it's usually assigns for x-number of days. Your host assigns your modem an IP in exactly the same way every time you log onto the internet. Assigning your xbox a static IP only means that it never changes.
That being the case, the IP assigned by your router is only seen by your router, not the outside world. Therefore I'm not sure how a static IP helped Desto's connection issues?

Like the military, the DMZ stands for the
demilitarized zone...meaning outside your routers firewall. Your router should have an option to put at least one device in the DMZ. If something inside your routers firewall is conflicting with Silverfox's router, this will probably help.
