Hi

You have two options:

1. Hard Way: You will have to make one computer the DHCP & DNS server and 
configure the DHCP server to configure the DNS server when new IP is assigned. 
Disable the DHCP & DNS on the router/modem. Howtos are available on net, but 
it's usually not worth the pain.

2. Easy way: Configure static IP for all "usual" machines. Configure the router 
to start DHCP addresses above a certain range (eg reserve 192.168.100 so that 
static & dynamic ones don't clash). Then use a /etc/hosts file on each machine 
with the name & address mapping. A typical one looks like this:

192.168.1.5        spooky.localdomain    spooky
192.168.1.6        blah.fu   blah
