you have two options either use static assignments in whatever you use to assign DHCP so it will always give Mac address X Ip Y or to configure your devices with static IP's This is the nature of DHCP and it works they way by design. 3rd alternative is to set a DHCP lease so effing long that it essentially never expires. but i am a larger fan of DHCP assignments.
