Static LAN IP Address

Hello
I just got a New Linksys WRT54G Router but im having a little bit of hard time trying to
have static IPs on my computers

1st computer 192.168.1.100
2nd computer 192.168.1.101
3rd computer 192.168.1.102
4th computer 192.168.1.103

im using (Internet Connection Type "PPPoE"). I connect to internet perfectly
but when the electricity of the house goes down and I turn back on everything
my 4 computers, they all have different ips

1st computer 192.168.1.102
2nd computer 192.168.1.101
3rd computer 192.168.1.103
4th computer 192.168.1.100

any idea of how I can make my computers to have the same IP if the power goes down?

Is the router configured to issue DHCP?

I had it on Disable and I couldn't get online so I left it on enable.

The DHCP in this configuration needs to be disabled. When you had it disabled could you see the other computers on the network?

I said he/she needed static ip addresses if they didn't want the machines to change. And rather than turn DHCP off, I was saying assign static IP's outside the DHCP server's (the router) scope.

jonpaulr

What krazieintent just wrote can be used, but only considering your "GATEWAY" (which is your routers LAN address and the Linksys default) is 192.168.1.1. If it is not, replace the "GATEWAY" IP address with your routers LAN address.

Who I’m supposed to give the Points?

crazijoe

I would spit it between pseudocyber, krazieintent and
jonpaulr

jonpaulr

My opinion:

pseudocyber started the correct path by suggesting the static IP's on each computer
jonpaulr (me) stated the same and why
krazieintent gave step by step instructions
jonpaulr agreed w/ one modification to his gateway suggestion

split up the points... That's my personal opinion, but I'm not the moderator.

jonpaulr

Funny crazijoe. We think alike.

pseudocyber

My only suggestion for the points is to assign a grade of A - the points are multiplied by the letter assignment.
