Do not try to enter the host name. Look at the other administrative
pages. There should/may be a way to "fix" the IP address assigned to
a given MAC address.
Some explanation. When your machines first are connected to the
router they only have their MAC address. The router provides them
with the IP address. What we want is to make sure that the router
always provides MAC1 with IP1 and MAC2 with IP2.
