Router and IP's

[Jon M. Hanson]

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).
