Set IP Address @ Boot up

Hello,
Situation:
Failover target server has taken over IP address of source machine upon source's reboot (which it should). When source boots up I get slapped with a conflict (which I'd expect).
Question:
I'm curious to discover if theres a way to set an IP address for a computer during boot up? I set up AutoexNt's startup type to boot and ran a netsh batch command to set the IP, yet the IP doesn't change -- I still get riddled-silly with errors.
Thanks for any and all help!

I suppose a better question would be, exactly when in the boot process does the computer check itself for a static IP address? And is it possible to feed it a different static IP to prevent a collision?
