Hello, I have a feed setup and it goes through my Linksys WRT54G router. I have the port forwarded and it works fine. I also downloaded the program that updates the IP address. Everything works fine untill the power goes out. Then when it comes back on the router changes around the local IP addresses of the computers on the network. I have 3 computers on the network. When I access the linksys setup to forward a port I have to enter an IP address of the computer broadcasting. When the router re-assigns IP addresses after a power outage a different computer gets the IP address of the broadcasting computer so then it shows an IP conflict. I have to go in and look at the ip addresses of each computer, then go into Linksys setup and change the addresses that the ports are forwarded from. A real pain. Anyway to prevent this from happening?

For example:
Broadcasting computer: 192.168.1.101
Computer B: 192.168.102
Computer C: 192.168.100

I have port 1080 forwarded from 192.168.101.

Power goes router reassigns IP addresses:
Broadcasting Computer: 192.168.102
Computer B: 192.168.100
Computer C: 192.168.101

Now the router is forwarding Computer C which isnt broadcasting anything.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Bob
