  OK, will try those ideas.  A little afraid of the patch cable, though.
  Kind of hate to admit defeat. Thanks for the input.

I am not at all impressed with D-LINK support or the quality lately.  I'm wondering if they wern't quietly bought out by Linksys ..... 2funny

  I'm happy now...got the router working [sort of].  My browser finally let me access the router address once, for some reason, so I could change the default address, and then it was clear sailing.  However, I couldn't access the net in router mode, got 'not available offline' messages for configuration pages, and could get no connection.  Ended up wiring the router as a switch [already a router built into the DW 6000, anyway] using just two LAN ports [ie- Wan port empty] , disabled the UPnP and DCHP functions in the router, did the rest of the configuration by the book, and all seems well.  Setup as a switch will suit my needs just fine, anyway.
  Wish I could specify how I got browser to access dlink pages, but have no idea, a lot of fumbling around in the dark, probably a combo of hehimself3's suggestions and dlink manual.  Not exactly user-friendly, but then I'm not exactly a friendly user.
  Thanks all, for your time, trouble, and suggestions.

Yes I agree.....Linksys WRT54g works right out of the box or easily set up as switch with wireless also. Check for firmware updates and then forget you own it  Very Happy

I've had the experience of having dlink, netgear, belkin, buffalo tech, and linksys. linksys has been by far the best for me.
