Yes, I also have the WRT54G, and it is terrible that the stock firmware
does not allow me to "lock" my IP by MAC address. To me, that is basic
functionality that is missing from this router. The only way I have
gotten it to work is to setup a static IP, and bypass the DHCP
altogether. As it turns out, there is some open-source firmware for the
WRT54G on sourceforge.net that adds this functionality, but I haven't
had the [EMAIL PROTECTED] to try them...

VNC List:
I am having some trouble setting up my RealVNC on some computers
behind my Linksys WRT54G wireless router. I have a basic
understanding of how everything works, but I'm getting tangled up in
the port forwarding and DHCP stuff.
Here is the main problem:
On my server desktop, I am running VNC Server along with DynDNS
Updater so I can keep up with the dynamic Comcast High-Speed IP
address. Therefore, when I type in xxx.dyndns.org, I should be able
to access my computer. Here is the problem however: Sometimes when I
restart the desktop with VNC server, the IP address will change
(192.168.1.102 to 192.168.1.106). When it switches IPs, 106 does not
have port forwarding on and I can no longer access it. Because I am
still running testing, I simply open up port 5900 on 192.168.1.106 and
the xxx.dyndns.org address will work out fine. Attempting to access
it via the actual IP address (192.168.1.106) works fabulously. I just
can't seem to figure out how to keep up with the DHCP giving me new
IPs. (Keep in mind, the above testing deals with all LAN-side
testing.)
I have tried setting a static IP, but I don't know the DNS
information, so I think that contributed to my loss of Internet. What
other options are there?
Thanks!
