It looks like you really do not need this, but for future info, what I would do is set a DHCP lease reservation in the WRT610N config. That will basically map the MAC addresses of any devices that you wish to have static addresses to a particular IP address in the DHCP range. Basically, any time that this particular device asks the DHCP server for an address, it will automatically get the one that you assign, and it will not assign those addresses to any other devices. This way you do not need to muck about with the device setups. This is also useful for IP printers, etc.

There is a section of the user manual for the Linksys that covers DHCP lease reservations.

FWIW, my old WRT54G did not have DHCP lease reservations, but the DD-WRT replacement firmware added that particular functionality.

THANK YOU! I don't know if this will fix my problem, but after seeing the words DHCP Lease at least allowed me to find that button in the router config - I looked and looked but didn't see it there. I made the change, and will report back later to see if it helped.

Off the top of my head, it was something like this:

Electrician: $350
Dry-wallers: $250
Carpenter (shelves): $3800
TV: $2000
Computer: $1100

I just love the way you design it. It really look so great!
Your hard work is worth it!
