Hi,<br>
<br>
I have several WRT54gs's also (not sure if I have a v5 though.)<br>
<br>
If you can (and some versions can't - others can but have limits, and
most will just work,) I would download and flash your router with the
DD-WRT replacement firmware which will add all sorts of features to
your router, one of which is the ability to assign static DHCP
addresses.<br>
<br>
I use it for all my machiens at home. I couldn't live with out it.<br>
<br>
You can get it at: <br>

<br>
Just click the top box under support, and look up your router, then
download what it suggests.<br>

My situation is I have a linksys wrt54gs v5 (w/latest firmware 1.52.7),
2 Arch linux boxes, one acts as server and one as desktop, one win7
laptop and one win7 desktop. In the last few weeks, I have noticed
randomly my net connection dying and I've been resetting the router
(physically unplug, 10-15 seconds, plug back in) a bit too much. The
main challenge with this has been that the local IP of my linux boxes
would change (ie., server always been 192.168.1.100 and desktop .101
with far too many configs/settings relying on this). Then I edited my
/etc/rc.conf networking section to:<br>
<br>
server:<br>
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">eth0="eth0
192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255"</span><br
style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">INTERFACES=(eth0)</span><br
style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">gateway="default gw
192.168.1.1"</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">ROUTES=(gateway)</span><br>
<br>
desktop:<br>
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">eth0="eth0
192.168.1.101 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255"</span><br
style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">INTERFACES=(eth0)</span><br
style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">gateway="default gw
192.168.1.1"</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">ROUTES=(gateway)</span><br>
<br>
Yet when I reset the router, my desktop will hop to 192.168.1.103, and
the server was on .101 until I restarted the networking daemon and it
grabbed .100. However, even if I reset the networking daemon on my
desktop, and ifconfig eth0 shows it to be .101 as it should be, it is
still actually .103 as I get access denied errors trying to mount NFS
from the server and such until I added in .103 to the exports and then
it mounted. Grrr.<br>
<br>
My main concern is to ensure that each box gets its local IP on reset
of the router or otherwise, server=.100 and desktop=.101. I cannot
locate in the Linksys browser control panel where I can set this. I did
change client lease time to 9999 (the max allowed in the field).<br>
<br>
Greatly appreciate any help, thanks.<br>
