[Eug-lug] WRT54G and WRT54GL routers - anybody had this problem?

I have a couple of these. One is the main router, the other configured as a bridge to connect my office to the router and cable. At the router I also have a Linksys PAP2 (connected to the switch with an Ethernet cable) which is the IAD for a ViaTalk voip line.

I set up QOS to favor the PAP2 using it's mac address, but I also assign a fixed IP address to the PAP2 in DHCP. 

Here's where the problem comes in. Whenever I restart the router for any reason, the PAP2 gets disoriented. It won't work correctly until I assign a different IP address and reboot the router again. It has something to do with the PAP2 reregistering with its SIP server.

Has anybody seen this problem? I could track it down, but it would take a long time and lot of equipment shuffling. The DD_WRT sites don't seem to have any info on this.
