Can I set up DHCP Reservations with a WRT54G?

I'm annoyed by computers being disconnected and reconnected and getting a different IP address requiring me to modify my port forwarding. So I'd like to set up Reservations so things like my WHS box always have the same IP address, but I don't want to completely disable DHCP.

I Googled it, but I didn't really find anything useful because I don't know exactly what I'm looking for since there's nothing that says "Reservations."

Just set your DHCP range from 1.100-1.150 (or whatever you are using) for DHCP then you will have 1.151-1.255 for static IP's.

Would I have to set DNS server addresses manually as well if I use a Static IP address?

*EDIT* Duh... yeah... got it, thanks. ;)

WRT54G as is does not support static IPs within the DHCP Range.

Flashed with DD-WRT it does.
