so... i've got a 2wire DSL modem/wireless router. problem is it's only a .11b wireless. so i got a dlink 524 .11g wireless router to add to the mix. so the orig config was, DSL/2 wire and to the desktop wired and the laptop wireless. everything worked fine until i decided i knew what i was doing and updated the firmware without saving the previous setup for the dlink.

now the dlink doesn't talk to the 2wire, i don't anything other than LAN when connected in the original setup (2wire>dlink> desktop (wired) and laptop (wireless)) . i can xfer files, use vnc between the laptop and the desktop while in the orignal phys config, but that's it. nothing communicates outside the dlink. i tried assigning the IP, Primary DNS the same as the 2wire says the internet connection is. nothing, i tried using the dynamic IP setting, didn't work. i tried throwing it across the room, that didn't work. i just want to be able to get my signal AND internet from my dlink. is that so hard?

what should i check to make sure the two can communicate properly?
