Most likely you got a 162.xxx.xxx.xxx (ZeroConf).
This happened to me in the field, an example was when someones LAPTOP for some reason was only getting the same IP that was supposed to go to the copier. So everytime he turns WIFI on, the laptop would get the IP, and crap hit the fan.
I solved this, and this is what I recommend. That you stop doing Static on the MFP. Why? because the truth is, static IP's have caused a crapton of problems (for me). I say leave the MFP on DHCP, go to your router (or DHCP SERVER) and RESERVE the IP address with MAC ADDRESS reservation.
Pretty sure this should fix your problems. Let us know.
Good luck.
EDIT:
*NOTE* When I first told the IT guy, he said the IP was being leased to only one machine, but he wasn't able to see it in the network. The IP that he said was going to a the machine, was actually going to a laptop. How the hell this happened, I'm not sure, but he said that's impossible, it's being leased to the machine, I even had to take a picture of the IPCONFIG /all, send it to him. Even if I DHCP /Released and /Renews in the CMD, it still got the same IP. This was an MX-M283.
