But like most routers it can reserve specific addresses for specific hosts. I generally do that AND assign the same addresses as static IP addresses to all my hosts.

You can then run a local DNS server (I use dnsmasq) or if your net is small, distribute the addresses into the local /etc/hosts file on each computer. > > How to manage this problem (to use the IP addresses of computers in the > network) ? > > *In other words,* I would ask if, in linux environment, it is a > possibility different > to the *setting up the router do assign static IP addresses*, for managing > this problem ( for example using DNS...)?? see above.
