Looking for a router that does DHCP

99% of the Entry Level (cheap) Cable/DSL Routers (including the Linksys) Route, and concurrently provide DHCP.
Look at the usual Mega stores, and you will find one for less then $50.

Pretty sure the linksys is a good ol' BEFSR41 (might be a BEFVP41, I'll double check). Under the advanced configuration you can toggle between router and gateway modes, but it seems that putting it in router mode will disable its DHCP server. I need to be able to get both running at the same time.
Basically, I am looking for a router that has two ethernet ports. It can't do NAT and must function as a "normal router" and it has to have a DHCP server on it. It's going to be used in a local network environment (all non-routable IPs)
The Linkys router kills the DHCP server when you place it in Router mode. (Seems like a bug since the web-based setup shows that DHCP is still enabled even though it doesn't assign IPs). Is there another type of router out there that will pass two ethernet subnets back and forth and also provide DHCP for just one subnet?
Thanks

I have a LinksysSR41 4 port router. I have it running DHCP and I also have a couple of my machines static on the same router.
The way to do this is to assign the DHCP range above .100 and then assign the static machines to anything under the .100 range.
The reason I do this is because I have 2 servers that need static for routing. Linksys says you cannot do this but I do it and a lot of others I know do the same thing.
Bleep
