I have a desktop with a static address too; when trying to get its 
name.domain shown in my router's configuration page, though, the only 
thing that helped was to put this line:

send host-name "MyComputerName.MyDomain";

into /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf. *Although* it's not configured as a DHCP 
client. Go figure ...
As to your first question, I can only try a wild guess: maybe it's 
because you don't have an actual domain server and an actual domain?
