I found the below in the help menu for the linksys.... If I disable the
DHCP function, will my home network stop working? I just have three PCs
networked together using the linksys....no server... just standalone PC's...

Forwarding
Port forwarding can be used to set up public services on your network. When
users from the Internet submit certain requests to your network, the Router
can forward those requests to specific computers that are equipped to handle
the requests. For example, If you set the port number 80 (HTTP) to be
forwarded to the IP Address 192.168.1.2, then all HTTP requests from outside
users will be forwarded to 192.168.1.2. You must disable the Router's DHCP
function to utilize this function.
