Just set the computers you want ports forwarded to to a static IP address on the same subnet so they won't use DHCP at all. This makes the port forwarding easier since their addresses will never change. In it's default configuration the Linksys sets up the network on the 192.168.1 subnet and hands out DHCP addresses beginning at 192.168.1.100. Simply put the computer you want ports forwarded to on something like 192.168.1.10 (the subnet would be 255.255.255.0 and the gateway would be 192.168.1.1).

I have a linksys wrt54g wireless router and a small home network which lost power the other day and when I restarted my computers they pulled the wrong IP's and so the one I'm using for a web server and mail server was not getting the proper ports forwarded. I know I can disable the dhcp server  in the router but how do I set which computer gets which IP I just need one to have a set IP address the others don't matter.
