Linksys WRT54GL - assign static IP to MAC address?

[s***@hotmail.com]

So I just replaced my Netgear router with a Linksys WRT54GL at home.
In netgear there is an address reservation function in which you can
assign a static IP to each computer using their MAC addresses. Can you
do that with WRT54GL? I have browsed through the admin interface and
can't find any. If not, is there any 3rd party firmware that does
that? I want to have static ip for each computer for port forwarding
purpose.

My WRT54GL has the linksys firmware version 4.30.2. Thanks in advance.

I'll assume you know that static IP(s) are those IP(s) that cannot be
issued by the DHCP server on the router.

If the DHCP Issue Count is 10, then IP(s) 192.168.1.100 through
192.168.1.110 are the DHCP IP(s). 192.168.1.111 to 254 are static IP(s),
along with 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.99.

[Q] How can you recognize a programmer in a crowd?
[A] Ask everyone to count to ten. The programmer
will start with zero. Everyone else will start with one.

[Q] How many fingers on both hands?
[A] Eleven. Counting from the little finger, it's
10 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 6 and 5 more makes 11.

Actually: ... and 5 less makes 1. Oops.

YOu're correct. The stock Linksys firmware does not support "static
DHCP", "reserved DHCP", "reserved leases", "Pre-assigned DHCP", or
whatever it's called this week.

DD-WRT and the other alternative firmware such as OpenWRT all support
static DHCP.
