In the Router settings there should be a place for you to make specific mac
addresses static, ie.. the router will not hand those addresses to any other
device unless it has the correct mac address or network card. That is the only
way to prevent the router from handing out that address, even if

You can also set it to static on your server. In debian based OS's, edit
the /etc/network/interfaces to make them look something like this:
iface eth0 inet static

netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.1

address on the same subnet so they won't use DHCP at all. This makes
the port forwarding easier since their addresses will never change.
In it's default configuration the Linksys sets up the network on the
192.168.1 subnet an
