I may be misunderstanding your needs, but typically IP addresses are assigned 
dynamically. The host {} section for the laptop is only needed if you need 
special settings for that particular host - such as the ethernet address.

Unless you need the laptop to always have that certain hostname, you should 
just be able to remove the host {} section and any devices, including the 
laptop, should get an IP address from the pool.
