TTBOMK the linksys will not keep lease records in non volatile memory, thus you can not prevent issues like this.  Ether you would need to set up a DNS server that does keep lease records in nonvolatile memory or set up static addresses for the servers and then exclude those addresses from the DHCP range.

 

Others may have better suggestions, perhaps even a way to hack the router, or a feature I am unaware of, but that is how I would do it.

Subject: Router and IP's

 

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.
