OK - unfortunately, as I wrote before, I couldn't get the router to use static IPs - I'm sure I was doing something wrong, but I gave up and went to DHCP.
So here's my NOT elegant workaround: 1 - I changed the DHCP range from 10.0.0.1 - 10.0.0.137 to 10.200.1.1 - 10.200.1.137 2 - I opened the router's "reserved IP address list" and set the IP's I want to the corresponding MAC addresses. With only 5 computers on the LAN, it's manageable. 3 - I re-booted everything Since I set the "reserved" IPs exactly as the old static ones were, everything (including nfs mounts and pinging to all LAN destinations) now works.
