They consist of a "2-Port router" that has the ADSL end on one port and the other port connected internally to what would best be described as an Ethernet switch. They will only route between WAN and local LAN, but not between LAN ports on the switch end. The observation that all your local PCs see the DHCP responses directly from the cable end (i.e. get "WAN" addresses) strongly suggests that there is no "routing" between your LAN ports, just bridged forwarding. I see no easy way to solve this except your "router" has te possibility to assign a local Ethernet port as WAN port (I can hardly imagine a box that could do this, however)
