How to assign computer from within hub to a static ip.

Here's the situtation. I have 5 static ip's on my dsl business connection. I have a switch connected to it, and connected to this switch are 2 routers. Both of which are assigned static ip's. This works fine. But here's the problem. One of the machines, a linux server is connected to the network through ethernet wire that ends up being connected to one of the routers. Is there anyway I can set up this machine to have a static ip that is outside the router? I've tried jsut setting it with one of my static ip's and using the default gateway my isp provided me, and that doesn't work, I then tried the static isp, with using the rotuer as the deafulay gateway, and that didn't work. There must be some way to have it use a static ip without actually running new wire from the first switch to the machine. Someone please help.
