I asked this in another thread, but it has less to do with wireless than it does with networks in general.

I use a cable router that currently assigns addresses to machines, but which address a machine receives depends upon the order in which they are turned on that day. It wouldn't be a problem except for the port forwarding I have in place.

I know the basic information is availible from the routers setup page, but once I transfer that data to the machines what do I do to stop it from assigning? Disable DHCP?
