If you don't do DHCP and assign workstations static IPs can they surf?

I'd rather not get into setting static IP's as I connect my notebook to a 
couple different networks and as it is a work notebook they really don't like
me monkeying with some of those settings.

it seems that the one of the firewall settings is not right so it isn't allowing
the communication out to the home network from the firewall for dhcp etc.
