Need to have one of my PC's have a static IP from my router

I have a dlink router and 4 or 5 computers running off it. Anytime I reboot one of the computers, its IP from the router changes. I'm trying to do some port forwarding to this computer, so the forwarding messes up every time the IP changes.

Does anyone know if there is a way to make the one (or all) computer(s) have a static IP from the router?
 
Either setup a DHCP reservation on the router if it supports it or manually give the PC an IP outside of the DHCP range on the router.
 
DHCP reservation really is the way to go. However your IP shouldn't change just because of a reboot, you could also set the lease time really high like a month. For a home network there is no need for a short lease.
