Is there a linksys or similar cheapo dsl home router that can use DHCP
to assign static IPs based on requesting MAC address ?

The only way to get a static address from a DSL provider is to request one
from your provider.

I'm asking the DHCP server in the SOHO router to assign
addresses. ou're think of NAT.

        I've seen the feature to assign static IP's from the router's
internal DHCP side, based on MAC address, in D-Link products.

        While I wouldn't (now) recommend D-Link to my worst enemy, I would
not be at all surprised if better makes, such as Netgear, also have the
capability.

        Suggestion: Many manufacturers make their equipment user manuals
freely available for download, no matter if you already own the unit or
not. You would probably do well to grab such, and check the setup
instructions for the device's internal DHCP feature (if any -- some few
don't have it).

        Happy hunting.

I was going to say exactly that, Verizon's FIOS router is a D-Link
DI-624 which has the Static DHCP feature, but I really hate D-Link,
and I've added another for a firewall between me and them. Linksys
routers don't seem that have that feature, but I'm having other
Linksys problems and am about to try another vendor (probably
Netgear).
