Can not set Static IPs on my new WRT54G? Help!

I have been using a wrt54gs router with no problems for serverla years
it was a version 1.1. It crocked last night so went out and picked up
a new version 6.0 wrt54g everthing simply unplugged from the old
plugged into the new router. I prefer using static IPs on the 4
computers on my home LAN. On the older wrt54 I just had to go to the
Advanced Routing and add the info click on save and was done. I try
that on the new router and when I click to save I get this message
"May be default route already exists"

I am now lost.. I can not figure out what the erro message is telling
me and can not set staic IP addresses. Any ideas? What am I doing
wrong as I say nothign was changed and the router does work and uses
the staic IP as set in each computer but I would like ot set this up
as the old router was thanks

Did you shut down your pc and/or modem between disconnecting the old router
and plugging in the new one? Sounds like it's reading your old router info,
doesn't it?
