How to keep a static IP and let DNS addresses be dynamically updated on Linksys WRT54GS ?

Hi everybody,

I am using a WRT54GS router connected to XP SP2 computers.

I would like all my computers have a static IP. For each computer, I chose a unique IP but I then had the following problem : under XP, if I choose a static IP, I also need to fix the DNS addresses.

My problem is my provider updates the DNS addresses several time a day so I need them to be updated automatically or I will sometimes lose the name resolution. So, the XP static IP option will not work for me !

Is there a way to fix the address on the router using a table which would associate the IP with the computer's MAC address (so the router DHCP will always give the same IP to a given computer) ?

Thanks in advance for your help.
