How do I setup Static IP with netctl

[SuperKomputerKid]

Hi! I have a raspberry pi model b with a Wi-Fi dongle plugged into it. I would like to use the wpa-wireless-static config to connnect to my netwrok since the Pi acts as a small server for ssh and nginx with the ghost blogging platform. When I configure the static wpa file I generally use:

Description='A simple WPA encrypted wireless connection using a static IP'
Interface=wlan0
Connection=wireless
Security=wpa
ESSID='My SSID'
Key='My Passkey'
IP=static
Address='192.168.1.106'
Gateway='192.168.1.1'
DNS=('8.8.8.8')
# Uncomment this if your ssid is hidden
Hidden=yes

My wifi network is hidden.

I would like to setup static IP so I don't have to mess with portforwarding every 2 to 3 weeks.
What am I doing wrong?

why not use static dhcp leases in the router itself?

Did not think of that. but I'm not the admin in the house, my dad is. All I can do with the router is portforward my site.

If I did anything else with it he wouldn't be too happy.
