Unless, of course, there's some glitch at some point where the router 
thinks the .2 address is currently in use when it's not and hands out 
another one, thus changing your workstation to a new ip address on a new 
lease.

Another reason that if you have workstations you need a reliable IP on, 
you set it on that machine or device, not with a MAC entry in the DHCP 
server.
