Linksys static internal IP

I've got a Linksys BEFW11S4 router that works fine. What I would like to
do, though, is to be able to assign my PowerBook running OS X a static
local IP-- something like 192.168.1.123. I get my real IP via DHCP. How
would I go about doing this? I'm mainly looking to doing this to make
connecting to IRC networks that require ident (or whatever it's called),
which uses port 113-- which needs to be forwarded to the internal IP
changing PB--, easier. (Meaning I won't have to look up my internal IP
everytime I want to connect to IRC; it'll always be 192.168.1.123).
Thanks.

This has to do with configuration of your powerbook, not the router.
Just set the IP to be static rather than dynamic and pick an IP address
in the proper range (determined by the IP of the router) and you should
be in business.
