Lynksys Routerkeeps loosing the LAN IP address.
I have Static DSL connection. I have Lynksys router (12port) connected to the DSL modem. (from Verizon). I have connected two PCs to the Router.(Ethernet cable connection.). I connect to this PCs from outside via PcAnywhere. Every once in a while (2 days) I cannot connect. I have to go the Office and access the Lynksys webpage from one of this PCs, go to the DHCP table and see what are the current addresses. I then go back and change these address in the Fowarding table. Now I can connect remotly. I like to know how I can have this addresses reserved for the PCs that are connected so that they do not keep changing. Please help

BEFSR81 is the Model number.
Lease time is set at 0
0=one day.
Can you help me stepwise? How do you manually assign a ststic IP address ?

Thankyou RobWill. It was very straight forward. In Tcp/IP Properties page, I went to Adavanced tab and then assigned the IP address.
I had also got a response from Lynksys too, they gave me the following link which is basically same as what you have mentioned. Thanks abunch.

You could also extend the DHCP/client lease time as long as possible so you wouldn't have to change as often. Some routers have the option of forever".
Which model Linksys?
