There are no limitations imposed by BITS on IP address configuration. You 
were probably getting the error under DHCP configuration because of DNS 
problems. Check if you could resolve the fully qualified name of the server 
by pinging it from the client machine.

By the way, you don't need to resume a job entering into a transient error. 
BITS will automatically do this for you guided by the parameter 
MinimumRetryDelay 
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/bits/bits/ibackgroundcopyjob_setminimumretrydelay.asp).
 
The default retry delay is 10 minutes. You can reduce it if you want BITS to 
retry often using the API pointed to by the above link.
