[ale] Can I tell my Linksys router to always serve the same IPaddress?

[Klepinger, Aaron]

By using a Pentium 2 box as your router, Georgia Power is "raping" your wallet instead of Linksys.  :)  Hehe.

Since Sveasoft violated the GPL, if you search for TheIndividual you will find the Sveasoft firmware released free, per the GPL.

Thanks,
Aaron

This is one of the limitations I don't like with the Linksys products (I am not a Linksys fan at all). Assigning specific IPs based on MAC should be part of the default firmware but it isn't. You can load the Sveasoft stuff if you don't mind loading third party firmware; it should give you the ability to do what you want.

This kind of thing is why I use a cheap old Pentium2 machine for a router. I decide what the limitations are not some company out to rape my wallet.
