Going to be setting up a Linksys WRT54G-UK on friday, from the documentation it uses a static IP of 192.168.1.1 (also uses 192.168.1.2/3/4/5
for types of servers it supports)

I need to connect 4 machines up to it with static IP's that can also connect to the internet and I have no idea how to go about this.

Machine 1 will be the main machine connected to the router.
I need them all to be able to see each other, ceartain things I use the machines for will need to know what machine is what which is why I need everything to be static, I assume I will have to set the Blueyonder DNS server address on each machine for it to be able to get outside the LAN? Will this be a problem if it changes often?

How would I set the machines up,

Machine 1 - 192.168.1.10
2 - 192.168.1.11
3 - 192.168.1.12
4 - 192.168.1.13

Would something like that work? To make things even worse I have a 5th machine that needs to connect via wireless, this also needs access to machine 3!

If anybody could point me in the right direction so I can get an idea of what I am doing before friday i would be most gratefull :D

Thanks
 
Thanks mate. If the router supports the IP change I will certainly use it as I have always used 192.168.0.xxx myself. If I set the router to 192.168.0.1 would that then become the DNS server? at the moment my 2 NIC bridge uses this and for the other machines I set the DNS to that address and everything works perfectly. Hopefully it will be this easy with the router ;)
