Jim,

Thanks for the reply.  Your method actually seems to be more in line
with what I am truly wanting to do, but didn't think was possible.

I didn't think I could have two routers on the same network both
serving as a router.  I'm not a networking guy, myself, so I don't
understand the in-depth knowledge of routers.  I am wanting to use the
2wire device as little as absolutely possible (for obvious reasons). 
It's my understanding from your reply that your main computer (and any
others) that would be hooked up to the LAN ports of the 2wire, in
"normal" mode, are actually hooked up to the LAN ports on the Linksys. 
Is this accurate?  This is how mine is now and I would love to keep it
this way.

I don't want to have multiple network segments and would like to have
everything flow through and be controlled by the Linksys.

1.  Does the Linksys remain enabled as a DHCP Server?
2.  Does the 2wire assign an address to the Linksys once it detects it,
or did you have to put it in manually in the Router IP field?
3.  Does the Operating Mode of the Linksys remain enabled as a Gateway
or be changed to Router since there are now two routers in the
equation?

Could you please take a look at the screenshots I've attached and let
me know what the settings for the fields in the red boxes should be?  I
would imagine those fields are the main ones that either need to be
changed or left alone.

Thanks in advance for your help.  I've been worried about my Squeezebox
ever since I learned I would be getting a new router from Uverse, and
not just a modem like I have with my current DSL.

Best,

Aaron
