To see if your router is compatible with dd-wrt (and download it if it is), go to http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/index, click "router database" and type the model number in to the search box.

Cheers for that Stuart, but now I read it I wonder If I can merely assign the MAC address reservation section of my router to hand out the same IP address to each machine every time?
This would mean not having to assign statip IP adddresses as the site says

"If you set static addresses, your connection will be listed as "Moderate" NAT for at least one of your consoles"

Quote
"In essence, it lets you provide a MAC address for a computer or other Ethernet-enabled device. When the network card in question attempts to get a DHCP lease for an IP address, the Static DHCP table takes over and will always assign the same IP address to the same device. This process has all the benefits of setting a static address, without having to change Windows or console settings"

So am I right in thinking this is the same as the address reservation is the same thing, and do you think UPNP would be best on or off?
