Finally! I doubt there is anybody out there that knows, or knew less about networking than me, but I'll post this anyway. After hooking up the router we couldn't get the other computer online. I kept reading and looking at the router and decided that it just couldn't work the way I had it hooked up. I called D-Link to confirm my thinking and a very polite tech person confirmed my suspicions. The router is acually made to be used with DSL, or cable and I'm using wireless sattelite which was wired directly into my main computer. I called my ISP tech person and he said I probably needed a bridge. Now after installing the bridge and another $100 it works fine. I suspect there is another way to do it that would require more configuration, but this works. Oh well, live and learn.
