The allocation of IP addresses is DHCP's work.  Their static allocation based  
on the MAC addresses should therefore be in "Network/DHCP and DNS".  As I  
wrote, using GNU/Linux (even a live system: we are talking about an  
hardware-defined number), you can read the MAC address (or addresses if the  
computer has several network interfaces, e.g., an Ethernet card and a Wifi  
card) right after "link/ether " in the output of:
$ ip addr
You have to input the MAC address of every (used) network interface and  
choose the IP address it will always receive (once the router configuration  
over, and a reboot of both the router and the computers).  With IPv4, the IP  
addresses will probably have to be 192.168.x.y, where x and y are two two  
numbers between 0 and 255.  Maybe you want 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2, etc.
