Laurent, anyone who uses Linksys routers...

Log into the router via your web browser, http://192.168.1.1
If you haven't changed your login information it will be;

User name: empty or "administrator"
Password: admin

You'll now be presented with the "Setup" screen, select either "Status" or
"DHCP" from the top nav bar, then select "DHCP Clients Table", this will
present you with the currently active IP Addresses/MAC Addresses/Interface
in a new browser window, i.e.

Client Hostname IP Address MAC Address Interface
Delete
cisco voip dig/con 192.168.1.100 nn-nn-nn-nn-nn-nn Ethernet
curtisdell8100 192.168.1.101 nn-nn-nn-nn-nn-nn Ethernet
Curtissager 192.168.1.102 nn-nn-nn-nn-nn-nn Wireless

I also turned on the IP log from the "Log" menu, this records all incoming
and outgoing IP Addresses and the port they were using. In addition, I use
Norton Internet Security, and I capture all attempts there.

Both the "DHCP Clients Table" and the "Log" are stored in cache, so there is
a refresh button. This is handy if you engage the window and leave it open.

David,

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, my router doesn't run a DHCP server,
since I assign static IP addresses. Would that work anyway with DHCP off?
