OK, try
this:
Plug the Linksys into the 16 port switch, leave it at
192.168.0.3
Enable it to be a DHCP server with these
settings:
DHCP range 192.168.0.65 - 192.168.0.99
Default GW
192.168.0.1
DNS servers - whatever they are for your
network.
There may be a setting to have the Linksys bridge all
interfaces, if you can find that enable it. (I don't use stock firmware so I
don't know the specifics. But that's the concept.)
Another question -
does the DLink function as a firewall for you? If it does can you access the
logs?
