Thanks, but that isn't what I want to do. I want to make the router always assign a specific IP address based on the Mac address in my ethernet card. Robin said all the routers he has seen allow this, so I would like him to explain it for WRT54G. This is one of the most popular ones out there. I can't find this setting. I'd like to know where it is hiding.
I know how to change the lease on DHCP and how to assign static addresses. Both useful tasks, but neither are what I would like to do.
Thanks for your help Jay

I also have that router. The default lease time is a day.
Go to Setup - Basis Setup
Scroll down to DHCP Server
set the lease time value to 0 (that will reserve an IP for the same machine for 24 hours) Set the starting IP address to something like 192.168.1.100 - and only use values below 100 for your local machines that you want to have a static IP address.

Not sure if you're running the Sveasoft firmware, but if you are
adding an entry like "10.0.0.3 00:04:20:05:91:BF sbox" to the 'Dhcpd'
section of the 'Management' section under 'Administration' on the
web interface will do what you are asking.
Of course, please replace the IP, MAC address and hostname with your own values.
Good luck, Tom
