DG834G Question

Right, I have set up this router almost spot on for our raping bandwidth student house. I have set up a firewall to block all ports on all IP's (except mine

) with the exception of specific ones such as msn and the html ports. This runs flawlessly, except when my pc is occasionally off the IP's change

and some other pc takes over my IP. How can I stop this from happening? What I would really like to do is assign each persons MAC address to an IP. Is this possible?

Could always just use a static IP for your PC instead of DHCP..

Trouble with that is I have to ask 8 people to set their pc's up or i do it for them which is time consuming and they gonna ask questions. I ll give this LAN setup a go tonight.

Or assign yourself an IP outside the DHCP pool that won't get taken by anybody else?

I meant just give your PC a static IP and leave the rest on DHCP..
