I'm not a networking expert at all, but how about this ? :-

Give every client on your network fixed IPs, and assign your son's laptop's
IP address a DMZ allocation.

This will expose his machine 'raw' to the net, but also isolate it from the
other clients on your LAN. For added security set up the software firewalls,
that I hope are running on your clients, with a rule to reject in both
directions any communication with your son's IP address.
