The DHCP lease being set to one day should not matter. If the lease expires, Windows will just renew it anyway. Regarding your other query, I have found on my WRT54G that although I have my PCs using DHCP, they get assigned the same IP anyway. The only part I have statically configured is my little Print Server, but this is only because my PCs need to print to that IP.

The easest way to do this is set the IP on anything you want to have a static (IE non dynamic) IP to anywhere between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.99 . If you need help doing this, just post. I'll be back later to tell you how to do it (assuming you need to know). Can't do it at the moment, as my desktop PC is busy downloading something for the boss (so I don't want to interrupt it), my Laptop won't display the right dialog, and I haven't currently got time to figure out why...
