Hi, I have four wireless computers in the home and they are all

each
computer? (using mac address?)

You don't. You do it at the client end, and optionally disable the
DHCP server in the router.

(aside: some routers let you set the DHCP lease time to infinity. I've
had three different routers that all handled this diffferently, with
lease times from inf to 28 days, all of which had the effect of
re-leasing the same IP each time to the same client.)

The standard firmware in the WRT54G, even V5, will do that; however, if the router power is recycled, the mac correspondence is lost. I have one computer that needs to have a fixed IP address as it is serves both NFS and subversion. As suggested earlier, it got 192.168.1.50, whereas the DHCP addresses start at 192.168.1.100.
