I set it up as static IP ( the same ones that my router was giving me
anyway.) How would I set up DHCP from the router?

No, it didn't I went through some hoops but I got the card working. I
do need to set it to start at boot right now I have to manualy activate
it. I updated my fireware on the router and now it works asside from
the DNS. I will have to look into how to fix that.
