Make sure UPNP is turned off on it.

I have a 8 port 10/100wired Linksys router that I am not using but
would like to use as a plain switch.
I turned off DHCP on the router and ran a CAT5e from a standard port on
my actual router to the number one port of this router(switch). I have
nothing plugged into the WAN port of the router I want to use as a switch.
Zone alarm, which is installed on the members of the LAN immediately see
the new router/switch as a new network. If they saw it as a plain
switch, like the Dlink Switch I am currently using then they wouldn't
identify it.
Is there a way I can make this router into a switch so as the software
firewalls won't treat it as a router?
