Hey guys fairly new to the BTC game... been trying to set up my miners today (8 in total) and for the life of me i cannot get them to get on DHCP as opposed to the static configuration they are at now... not sure what other info i can post other then i went thru pretty much all the tutorials especially the doge one where i was supposed to change the ip address on my laptop to 192.168.1.254 etc... the current ip address i am working with is 192.168.2.x... any help at all is greatly appreciated...

Simple - leave them with fixed IP, there are good reasons why they selected fixed IP. Simply set each Antminer with a different fixed IP and don't waste your time with DHCP. Make sure that the fixed IP values that you allocate are within your router's IP range and that there are no other devices in your network that use them. If your router has a 'pre-allocation table' (many Netgear routers do), then you can also use that to prevent future clashes (such as in case one antminer was off, a new device on the network was given the Antminer's IP, then there is a clash and the antminer fails to mine).
DHCP seems more flexible, but there are downsides - a DHCP lease has finite time, when it expires your connection may suffer, shifting IP addresses are more difficult to monitor (by AntMonitor https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=596178.0, or even by the basic web gui).
