What's the result for one of the faulty websites of
$ dig <domain name>
On the command line, when connected without DHCP? (Terminal.app under Mac, I think)
DHCP issues the IP adresses even if they are fixed IPs, unless you configure each computer manually (rather than configuring them via the router) and it's DHCP that tells them the DNS servers. If you're configuring all this manually on each machine then I think you may be a little mad ;)
Cheers,

However... a select few websites will not load unless DHCP is enabled (for the LAN) on the router just downstream of the cable modem (I'm in the US) and the mac book uses DHCP to obtain its IP address.
