I'm not sure I understand your problem completely. Are you running a Server-Client network?If you are just trying to hook up 2 PCs to a Router connected to your DSL modem, you may have a few issues.
With Verizon DSL using the Westell modem, your Router IP address should be set to 192.168.0.1 instead of the default lynksys and NetGear addy of 192.168.1.1. The Westell and other Modems use the 192.168.1.1 addy.
Hook up your two pcs to the router. Turn the router on and let it boot. Turn on one PC at a time and let them boot.
Click Start>Run and type cmd and click enter.
At the Command Prompt, type ipconfig /all and enter.What is your IP address??
If it is 169.254.x.x, your router is not handling DHCP.
If it's in the 192.168.1.1-254, your Router could be competing with the Modem for the same addy.
Hook one PC directly to Modem and verify internet connectivity.
Click Start> Run and type http://192.168.1.1 and enter. If your Modem configuration page comes up, you have a conflict. If page not found, repeat and use 192.168.0.1 and see if Modem comes up.Hopefully this helps someone. I found that D-Link defaults to 0.1 while most other routers use 192.168.1.1. It drove me nuts for a few days.
