Another thing you can do with some routers is reserve a particular address from the DHCP pool based on the MAC address. So you would leave your computer on DHCP, but in the router you can assign a particular IP to that computer's NIC MAC.
So, say your MAC address is 00-11-22-33-44-55-66and you DHCP pool is 192.168.0.2-192.168.0.50, then you can reserve 192.168.0.20 to 00-11-22-33-44-55-66. I don't know if WRT54G can do that, but my Netgear router does.
