I'm not familiar with the way @Home has their network setup, but I do
remember somebody mentioning that you have to give a specific hostname when
registering with their DHCP server.  For example, if you use dhcpcd, this it
the command you would use:

dhcpcd-2.2.x -h "foo" eth0

As far as I know, the hostname should have been provided to you by @Home.

If I'm completely off the mark, there should be an @Home customer on the
list who can correct me.

Also, are you using the IP that was originally given to your laptop as the
static IP on your server?  Or did you just make one up?  Just curious.
